I am waiting in the expectation of getting more replies -- I have summarized those so far. I will send an email to all the software publishers and blog on the current status soon. Vic Alexander,

I think the whole MindMapping industry would benefit if there is a standard open format for importing/exporting mind maps. I am envisioning some XML-based structure, similar to OpenDoc. I would expect that we need to start a discussion between software makers so the new born format addresses everyone's needs. After few weeks/months of discussion we should have draft v1. Then somebody would create a MindManager -> NewFormat converter and we will be in business. Refining could take more time, but it is important to start. If this new format gets enough support from developers we can push mind mapping to the next level. Look at RSS and what it did to content aggregation. It should be able to do the same for mind mapping. I think you are the right person to "lead" this step. Let me know your thoughts and please keep us posted on your progress. Alexander Vic,
