The extension that integrates FreeMind maps into the wiki is no longer maintained. And the preferred output format (flash) is so completely awful that it has been abandoned by the web.

Instead, you have to post your map to their 'Share' website, and then embed a graphic. That doesn't exactly work for your board brainstorm. I believe you can still export your Xmind to .mm format, which would allow you to use the FreeMind extension in theory; however it is a circular dead-end since the extension is unmaintained.
