The following has been successfully tested with Blender 2.6x and Blender2Ogre exporter + OgreXMLConverter (aka Ogre command line tools):

- model your mesh
- add bones/armature
- make your animation and give it a proper name
- go to NLA strips and add a strip with an action. Choos from the list of animations
- select mesh in 3D view
- export it to an ogre scene

At the moment I can only export one animation at a time, but when you get the XML file, just copy the <animation name="..."> .... </animation> tag all in one file, then run the commandline tools and your all set.

Great idea, thanks. This is it

Older exporter support animation name - new not supported
