Hi.
How I can merge Xoops to Drupal? What the modules do this or just write how you do it.
I know that we have xoops import module, but I think it's not correct work.
Need merge all content and users

manually in sql console
I would suggest that you do it manually via sql queries. (you could also write a script that bootstraps drupal and calls the data out of the xoops database and sends it into drupal via the user or node api's, which technically is the more correct way of doing it)
xoops has, if I remember correctly, a well structured database. Moving your site from xoops to drupal should not be all that difficult once you sit down and map out the relationships between data in xoops and data in drupal.
I recently did this sort of conversion from slashcode to drupal 5 and posted my rough notes outlining the process I used http://eric.openflows.com/node/26 (there is also source code there for a perl script that will redirect old slashcode urls to the correct drupal nodes that you should be able to re-purpose to your needs)
I hope that helps.
