Hi Jason,

I don't know of any existing Mindtouch converter to XWiki. However there are 
several handmade converter tools on http://extensions.xwiki.org that could 
serve as examples.

What is the markup syntax used by Mindtouch? I have the feeling they only 
provide HTML which would be fine since XWiki's Rendering can convert HTML into 
wiki markup for example (or keep it as HTML too).

So converting a page would be:
* Read the export format from Mindtouch (what is it? XML?)
* Use the XWiki API to create a wiki page, convert the HTML content to wiki 
markup (easy to do), add attachments

Also note that Thomas Mortagne (one of the XWiki committer) is currently 
working on a wiki stream API that is an ideal scaffolding for 
importing/exporting wikis:
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/wiki-stream . But there's non trivial dev work 
to be done to make it work.

Another idea is to contact one of the companies providing professional services 
around XWiki and ask them how much it would cost for a conversion:

Hope it helps,
-Vincent
