Does any module for Blog or articles carry out the import of posts from WeBlog?
Yes Xpress/wordpress can import from these
ImportIf you have posts or comments in another system WordPress can import them into your current blog. To get started, choose a system to import from below:
Old Blogger Import posts and comments from your Old Blogger account
LiveJournal Import posts from LiveJournal
RSS Import posts from an RSS feedGreyMatter Import users, posts, and comments from a Greymatter blog
DotClear Import categories, users, posts, comments, and links from a DotClear blog
Movable Type and Typepad Imports posts and comments from your Movable Type or Typepad blog
Textpattern Import categories, users, posts, comments, and links from a Textpattern blog
As you can see it can import from RSS feeds, I did exactly what you want to do when I changed from weBlog to Xpress, it was a bit of work (time consuming), I actually created a Category for each user, then imported that users RSS feed of their individual blogs, not perfect but adequate.
You could install Xpress alongside weBlog and try importing the RSS feeds before you make Xpress live to your users and see how you go. If you are not happy with the outcome nothing should be affected because you are only importing the RSS feeds not the database or anything, eg. nothing needs to be deleted until you are happy.
Oh I should add, I guess if you have hundreds/thousands of blogs/users it may not be viable.
