before I get my hands dirty, anyone know if there is a recent and working import script from UseMod (v1.0) to MediaWiki?
the one in the bundle states it doesn't work, and a quick poke suggests this is accurate. It doesn't look to complex a job, but either way, if I can avoid writing it, all the better :)
Whilst I'm here, same question but for MoinMoin...

This isn't a definitive answer, but I would doubt it - the existing one [presumably] dates to when the English Wikipedia was first converted to a bespoke wiki engine (which later turned into MediaWiki). Of course, if you *do* manage to write a decent script to do such importing, I'd have thought it would be worth a place in the CVS tree (if nice and small; if not, availability from http://mediawiki.org would be good).

No, it's from the conversion of the other remaining languages direct to MediaWiki. However it's likely not completely up to date, and is not maintained, so might need a little tweaking.
Oh, use maintenance/importUseModWiki.php, *not* maintenance/archives/importUseModWiki.php
