Ok I fixed a small script that added all my wordpress posts to django-mingus.
How did I do it?

1. Export the wordpress posts (tools/export)
2. write import_posts.py like below

     import sys
     import os 
 
     from django.core.management import setup_environ
     import settings
     from django.template.defaultfilters import slugify
     from django_proxy.models import Proxy
     import elementtree.ElementTree as ET 
     from basic.blog.models import Post, Category
 
     tree = ET.parse('/tmp/wordpress.2010-02-13.xml')
 
     for item in tree.findall("channel/item"):
         post = Post()
         post.title = item.find("title").text
         post.slug = item.find("{http://wordpress.org/export/1.0/}post_name").text
         post.body = item.find("{http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/}encoded").text
         post.created = item.find("{http://wordpress.org/export/1.0/}post_date").text
         post.status = 2
         post.publish = post.created
         post.save()
 
         categories = item.findall("category")
         for c in categories:
             try:
                 cat = Category.objects.get(slug=slugify(c.text))
             except:
                 cat = Category()
                 cat.title = c.text
                 cat.slug = slugify(c.text)
                 cat.save()
             post.categories.add(cat)
         post.save() 
         p = Proxy()
         p.title = post.title
         p.description = post.body_markup
         p.pub_date = post.publish
         p.active = {'status':2}
         p.content_type_id=15
         p.object_id = post.id
         p.save()

3. put the file in your django-mingus/mingus folder
4. run it with python import_posts.py

llap!
