They’re looking for ways to style maps that encourage collaboration, for example making maps look like drafting blue prints.

Don’t have a Flash (SWF) export or plugin.  Don’t have RSS changes available, thinking of doing this through a community portal this summer. 
Visual Diffs, currently working with UI team to figure out how to do that.  Looking at 3D models. 
Integration with MS project, but not JERA or other projects.
Mapping blogs and wikis isn’t that useful
Map Dashboards.  To display data sources from disperate systems.  Can consume any RSS or XML data source.  For example use it to consume services from MS Research. .Drag and drop entire webservice to into the mindjet interface. You can bring in RSS nodes or the entire query/feed.  Go to programmableweb.com.
Using the map to caputre project elements and tasks.
Version control is not there yet, diff UI is very challenging.

Biggest use case is using it meetings, although it started out as a great brainstorming tool.  Also for project management alongside tools such as MS Project.

Using it as a content management system for Mindjet labs. www.mindjet.com/labs. Done with big XSL transformation.

Not there yet but working on service to search what you’re entering and let you know that data has been already entered to avoid duplicate data entry.  They have add templates for VB and C#.
