Not that I am aware of. And I have no plans of moving this module forward.
If anyone wants to pick up development please let me know.

Dear mariuss,
I'm Stefano, a software engineer from Italy, but I've no practice of php and I'm totally new to drupal.
I've to transfer for my friends a site from xoops to drupal and I found your module very useful.
I've tried it on a drupal 5.10 installation from a very old xoops version (2.0.9) and with little corrections in the scripts I was able to transfer user, forum posts with comments and news.
I was very happy for the future migration, but now we'd like to build our site on drupal 6 and was very hard to know that it doesn't work with drupal 6 :( :)
I don't know but at first time db tables about forum, story and user for drupal 6 seem to be the same as drupal 5.
Do you think I can reuse your module on drupal 6 in someway? Which is the mechanism that recognize that the module could not work for drupal 6?
Please give me some help if you can, or simply tell me if I am on a right way :)
I repeat: I'm totally new to drupal module mechanism and never programming php, so it's possible I told a lot of stupid things :)
Thank you anyway for your work until now.
Bye

aboupastis,
Not sure if you are talking about one or two Xoops sites here.
If there is one site only and you already imported that site into Drupal 5, then all you have to do is upgrade your site to Drupal 6 and you are fine. You will have to disable the Xoops Import module before that.
If there is a second Xoops site that you would like to import, then import it into Drupal 5 first and upgrade to 6 right after that. Not as nice as importing directly into Drupal 6, I agree, but workable.

Thank you mariuss for your response.
I was talking about build a new site from an existing one, mostly saving what I can about users, forum posts, news.
I had realized that probably as you said the quickest way is to make two steps (xoops (marius)--> drupal 5 --> drupal 6).
The problem is that I'd like to develop the new site directly in drupal 6 using its modules and after, when it's ready, make the import of the data from the existing active site at the moment of the switch.
So probably I will go through a piece of code of your module trying to do the right select/insert operations.
In that case it's possible I will ask you some other good suggestion :)
Ciao.
