Other

  • Browser-based collaboration with others (http://www.mindmeister.com) I tried out mindmeister and imported a .mm file no problem. The collaboration works pretty dang well. You can also import/export as other formats.
  • Dynamic mind maps from CMS (http://www.goermezer.de/webtools/JoomlaMindmap): Sitemap, weblinks and feeds dynamically generated from content management system Joomla (Freemind Flashbrowser)
  • YACS (http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/) is a content management system with native support of Freemind. It embeds two Freemind players (Flash and Java), and any uploaded map can be browsed interactively. (http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-835-how-to-create-and-share-a-freemind-map) Also, YACS may build a Freemind map out of the content tree, or (http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-4509-how-to-generate-a-dynamic-freemind-map) part of it. And it may even combine the two features, for example to layout complex content as a Freemind map. (http://www.yetanothercommunitysystem.com/article-4510-how-to-layout-content-as-a-freemind-map)
  • Freemind Win Collab : Share your mindmaps and built them in collaboration. This simple batch file autorise collaboration on freemind maps via a fileserver. If you can access the same disk with your collegues in your organisation, you can now work together on your mindmaps : this script avoid multiple edition at the same time (lock the file for you and tell the others that YOU edit it for the moment) and make backups each time you open a mindmap (like 2006-04-02_myfilename.mm). Work only on windows.
  • ZMSMindMaps (http://www.zms-publishing.com/support/content/e724/e729/e2769/index_eng.html): An Add-on to ZMS (Zope based Content Management for Science, Technology and Medicine) for viewing, exporting and importing of Mindmaps.
  • Below is a Unix sed command to remove the optional data from a MindMap .mm file's XML to make it more reader-friendly, keeping only the TEXT attribute. After converting a MindMap file with this command, you can open the generated XML file in Firefox and use its XML element collapsing features to interactively view MindMaps even without Freemind installed. 
sed -e "s/ \(CREATED\|MODIFIED\|ID\|POSITION\|FOLDED\)=\"[0-9a-zA-Z_]*\"//g" Old.mm > New.xml

For version 0.9, this command is better : 

sed -e "s/ \(CREATED\|MODIFIED\|ID\|POSITION\|FOLDED\|COLOR\)=\"#\?[0-9a-zA-Z_]*\"//g" -e "s/<\(font\|hook\)[^>]\+\?>//g" Old.mm > New.xml
