[kwlug-disc] Mind mapping sw - reivsited

[unsolicited]

Peek at the FreePlane pages 
(http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page, 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freeplane) apparently a recent fork of 
FreeMind.

The pages discuss features, differences, enhancements vis a vis 
FreeMind, but I don't know enough to know if it/they matters.

The only quick takeaway I got was that it looks like FreePlane has 
some 'inter-world/cooperative' enhancements, that may be worthwhile.

I would be interested in your thoughts.
