My impression of the wiki is quite good. So far, we can let the original home page running, together with the one at freezope. I will move most of the stuff from the home page to wiki, as well as from the wiki at freezope. Any failure of this wiki is, therefore, covered. We can switch to this wiki completely in the near future. -- Dan of FreeMind 08:32, 10 Sep 2004 (PDT)

Feel free to discuss the main page here

I have protected the main page so that we have it under control. This does not mean we discourage users from expressing their opinion on that. Any suggestions we will find useful will be implemented, so to speak. --Danielpolansky 13:48, 10 Sep 2004 (PDT)

• Show the current version on the front page in big letters, also with the downloads

• The page is too big in Konq 3.3.0 and I have to scroll right to see it - Joseph Reagle.

• I notice in the screen shots that you can visually link nodes with a coloured arrow. This is really useful, but I can't find the commands to achieve it. Help? -- David Whitfield

• The link for the article about xml import and export in Mind Manager is broken. The correct link is

http://hkrott.iicm.edu/docs/seminar/sem2002_mindmaps.pdf respective http://hkrott.iicm.edu/veranstaltungen/seminar/abgeschlossen.html -- Axel Zindler

• OpenOffice has outline mode as well, and it's quite nice. Worth a mention.

• Mention freemind_browser and what it's good for. (What it's good for?)

• A program aimed at biolgical scientists, but for which mindmap may be able to partially substitute and may be of interest is "Interaction Explorer™ Software PathwayAssist™"

• [http:// Old home page(broken)]
• Apache directives
• Windows Installer(broken)

It would be nice to have the possibility to reconnect the nodes, as so to indicate a common property . .. see picture that i 've sent you

Design of the navigation bar

I have made a very simple navigation bar, repeated at every page to which it points. The navigation bar points only to the primary pages. Secondary pages can be reached by following the link "All Pages" at the navigation bar.

Originally, I wanted to change the navigation bar at the very left, but MediaWiki's documentation disclosed that this is only possible by editing the monobook skin's template. As this is not very flexible, I've chosen the other option, although it's not very elegant.

The navigation bar content is located at Template:Navigation_bar. By changing the template, the navigation bar changes in all the pages where it is included. See also help on templates. --Danielpolansky 11:08, 14 Sep 2004 (PDT)

Where is toolbox defined for the wiki

At templates/xhtml_slim.pt, with user rights rw-timan72,r,r.

Wiki is very slow

I have enabled file cache (see help on file cache). It also simplifies backing up of the wiki, as it suffices to backup the pages in the file cache. But the wiki is still very slow. --Danielpolansky 11:21, 27 Sep 2004 (PDT)

By logging to SQL server, I have found out that SourceForge is running mySQL version 3.23.58. Thus we may not set that we are running version 4 in LocalSettings.php. --dp

$ mysql -u freemind --database=freemind --host=mysql -p

An easier way to find out about mySQL version was to visit this special page of this wiki.
