GNOME Office should include a Mind Mapping software

GNOME Office should include a Mind Mapping software package. "Mind Mapping" is a specific form of note taking in which concepts are related in a tree-like form. Existing mind mapping software is either buggy (see FreeMind[1] 0.9, but that's a beta), feature-lacking (see FreeMind again, and Labyrinth[2]), or ugly (see Labyrinth). The Windows program Mind Mapper[3] provides an example of a highly featureful mind mapping software package, though only on a 30 day trial. FreeMind produces better looking output I think (mainly because the elements don't get infinitely smaller), but has bugs and lacks the myriad of types of maps Mind Mapper can generate; still, it generates a mind map, the core job of the software.

Also consider vym and semantik (previously know as kdissert) which are already packaged for Ubuntu.
What is "GNOME Office" I have to ask?
Hi John. I think it's the best if you raise your issue on the proper mailinglist like d-d-l. While it's a good thing to include such a software in GNOME, it's most likely that nobody takes it on unless you do it youself :-/ As I don't know what GNOME Office is as well, I'm closing this bug as INCOMPLETE. Please reopen if you have any news.
