What follows is a list of FreeMind accessories, provided by third parties. (Feel free to add your own accessory.)

Java convertor from del.icio.us to FreeMind
Perl convertor from Emacs Planner to FreeMind
Ruby convertor from Freemind to Latex article or book
Perl convertor from Freemind to Latex beamer presentation
XSLT Stylesheet to generate Latex Beamer Presentations (german description, basic functionality)
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.
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" YourFileName.mm > NewFileName.xml
