What I can think of, is using such a kind of dynamic UI for PhpWiki (as plugin) just for visualisation of links, similar to the static VisualWiki plugin. I saw this kind of UI often before (invented by Xerox Parc in the early 90's, if I remember correctly), but now a lot of apps use this java library. I saw it for lisp also. The 3D version is also fine, similar to VRML. In the 90's the only drawback was the lack of strong graphic cards, so it was only an option for the Silicon Graphics machines. Now every vanilla desktop PC can render this fast enough. (VRML still not though, but that's not a technical problem) PS: I strongly dislike the names "mindmap" and "freemind". It's too esoteric, anti-rational. > Here's hoping that Apple's release of Rendezvous, a set of services on > top of ZeroConf, might lead to SubEthaEdit being available cross-platform? > > On Jul 10, 2004, at 6:12 AM, Jerome WAGNER wrote: > >> Hello, >> >> I just found this open source mind mapping tool.
