At the moment (12/12/08), this project is far from done, with only one of 30 maps converted. (As of 1/02/09, a lot more have been finished.)
Several of the maps will need quite a bit of work, to support two players. For some (Zerg mission 4, for example), a base will need to be set up for the second player, and more expansion points will need to be made. Some triggers will have to be edited for two players as well, and non-multiplayer-compatible actions (pauses, for example) will have to be removed and worked around. The Zerg ambushes in Terran 6 "Norad II" and the Dark Templar escapees in Zerg 8 "Eye For An Eye", are on timers, and should probably loop, as well.
At the end, this project will be released in two versions, a light mode, with only a few sounds for effect, and full mode, with all the briefing, cutscene and in-game sounds. After this, I'll start on the Brood War maps, and maybe the 'Enslavers' series.
If you'd like to sign up to help, just say so, and I'll PM you the map. It's already set up with the non-story sounds (Zerg 8, for example, has Daggoth telling you your Overlords are out of/in place, but not the briefing, nor the cutscene sounds) and should work fine with one player. The maps are .scx format so they can support color-changing (certain maps should have both players colored the same).

By the way, if anyone's concerned about the legality of this conversion, these maps can't be played unless you have the game already (and thus, can play the campaign already), and it's not possible to claim these maps as my own work.
