Have a look at this thread http://drupal.org/node/108797 . A non PHP way to import Wordpress. That thread will lead you to here http://superjacent.net/cms/?q=node/518 .

I'm not sure what happened but the download page is here http://superjacent.net/cms/?q=node/509 . The original link I posted was to the Converter documentation which has links to the download page.

steven,
1. i noticed that in drupal, the blogs does not have things like recent history, achives, recent comments, etc. for blogs. is there an easy way to do it?
2. if i have many users in my site, we can each port a blog from wordpress, right?
thanks,
erick

Yes and yes.

1. In relation to recent history, archives etc. that's just a matter of installing the relevant Drupal modules.

2. Any number of blogs can be imported from Wordpress. To clarify that means separate Wordpress MySql databases can be imported. Per Wordpress MySql database file, it imports all users and posts there is no option to select only a filtered set of users, it's all or none.

Hope this helps.
