Hi Thomas,

I'm guessing you are referring to the WEBCT import script that Dan Stowell wrote a while ago and is available here:
http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=13&rid=94

This script is not a core module - it is a 3rd party script and you have to download it separately. A range of people have hacked on it over the time since Dan wrote it to make it work with newer versions.

I'm not aware of any plans at this stage to convert the script to work in Moodle 2.0 or for removing the dependency on XSLT - It will likely be a good chunk of work to do this, and may not happen for a while after 2.0 has been released. - In the meantime it would likely be more cost-effective for institutions to set up a 1.9 test site to convert their webct courses, then take a backup of the course within their Moodle 1.9 test site, then take that Moodle 1.9 backup into their Moodle 2.0 site to restore.

If you would like to help fund this work you could contact your local Moodle Partner, or if you have developers that could do the work, you could share your code in the forums.
