PDA Up to this day (18.feb.2004) nobody in the forum seems to have FreeMind running on a PDA. It should be possible because there are Java-VMs for the Palm and Pocket PC platform (e. g. http://superwaba.sf.net ) and there is JRE for Linux-based PDAs. If you succeed, please write about it here. A SuperWaba version is under development by Vik Olliver, which is incomplete but Open Sourced, so feel free to improve on it. This is a complete rewrite as the facilities available on a PDA are significantly different to those on a PC. Workaround: FreeMind Data on PalmOS: use an xsl sheet to transform to ShadowPlan format (see http://www.codejedi.com ) then sync the ShadowPlan file generated to PalmOS device. You can even edit on the PalmOS device and then transform back to FreeMind on the desktop. (Taken from a tip by David Keltie on the freemind-users mailing list) Yet another workaround can be found in this thread . And another: I am using Emacs my Pocket PC (yes, really works fine!) and Import and export to Emacs and Wikipedia-outlines I created XSLT files to translate to/from ShadowPlan Desktop XML format. You can get them from the ShadowPlan Yahoo! Group. Jules (http://www.knightnet.org.uk) FreeMind combined with wiki Disclaimer: What follows are suggestions of FreeMind users, not of the FreeMind development team. There is no combination of FreeMind and wiki under development, nor do we endorse the idea in any way. --Danielpolansky 13:15, 26 Sep 2004 (PDT) Creating a mixture of Freemind and a Wiki would be very interesting. It would be shown on the web and editable by everybody, like a Wiki, but it would not be ugly text-only but a beautiful mindmap instead! Maybe a fusion of of mind maps and wikis reform the whole wiki-szene and eventually the internet. Rendering Wikis with Freemind would make them so much more attractive to users. --Helge Agreed. Moving through XML data, finding and modifying links will enable the link between wikis, search engines and mind mapping Existing Applications Similar to the Idea of FreeMind Wiki The TWiki Draw Plugin doesn't give you mind maps, but you can draw similar things in it. TouchGraph Wiki Browser comes already quite close to a FreeMindWiki. The maps of well-known wikis look pretty confusing, because mind maps have usually less links than wikis on a page. To see for yourself, download it from direct download of version (26 Feb 2004). More related links follow. Wiki about TouchGraph Wiki Browser Touchgraph's project page In general: Combination of wikis and mind maps Now I found the place where a combination of wikis and mind maps should be and is being discussed. In "the mother of all wikis": Here is an explanation: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?WikiMindMap Here you will find an example of a visual map of a wiki which is generated by a script. Please copy the link into your browser and take the space out by hand. We do not want to real link in here because then to many bots would visit it and that would be to much traffic for the script which generates the maps. Copy this to your browser and take the "WRONG" out: "http:WRONG//c2.com/cgi/tour?FrontPage" Here you will find even more ways to visualize wikis: http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?VisualizeTheWiki Wikiing with FreeMind The first step could be to add a save format to Freemind which is Wiki-style, in any case more human readable than the current XML-format. Then you could edit Wiki-pages in this format in Freemind. This should be quite easy. *Something similar is there now: There is an export/import to Emacs' outline format. This is compatible to Wikipedia-style outlines. See here: Import and export to Emacs and Wikipedia-outlines Maybe something can be programmed along the lines of the TWikiDrawPlugin --Helge We need a version of Freemind which can show the changes between two Freemind files in nice way. Japanese FreeMindWiki From Takeshi: Hi, My friend Akiyah have developed MindMapBBS, aim to create web-based MindMapping without rich UI browser. He is planning connecting with wiki from MindMapBBS. MindMapBBS is Zope Product(DTML Based), can be used as inlined object in DTML Document/Method. He called Small Product. http://sourceforge.jp/projects/mindmapbbs/ (Now, supported japanese only). Thanks for that hint! Nearly nothing on the page yet, but sounds very interesting. We should keep checking that site for updates. Misc Icons An icon to associate with Freemind documents (.mm) is available for download below. It supports 256 as well as true color regimes. http://menyhart.net/blog/files/freemind.ico
