I thought Moodle produced 2.0 export (from the online demo)... I am  
wrong?

Moodle packaged export are in fact a little "fake" since the media  
files are not packaged with the assessment items: all you get is  
links to some media remaining on the original (exporting) Moodle  
platform. Again, I am wrong?
