Hi testers -- We're still in feature development, so no WordPress 3.1 beta yet, but earlier today the code behind the exporter and importer just got a huge overhaul, and we need your help.
This massive undertaking by Jon Cave (duck_) fixed more than two dozen tickets at once. As you can see from the two commits [1] [2], there are huge improvements that include leveraging a formal XML parser, properly exporting and importing navigation menus, exporting and importing entire author data, and fixing numerous bugs especially those related to category and taxonomy handling. We need lots of testing on both the export and import. The importer also needs testing for both old (3.0.x) and new (3.1-alpha) export files, as it should work with both. As of WordPress 3.0, the importers now plugins. This makes it very easy to test. You can download the development version of the WordPress Importer here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-importer/download/. You can update to WordPress 3.1-alpha by using the WordPress Beta Tester plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-beta-tester/. Don't do this on a live site! Also keep in mind you can still help by testing the importer on WordPress 3.0.1. Feedback and bugs can be posted here. The main ticket on Trac is http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/15197.
