FreeMind and its use in Wikka
FreeMind is a premier free mind-mapping software written in Java.
(quote from the FreeMind Homepage)
FreeMind maps can be included in Wikka pages.
Note: Java 1.4.X must be installed to view maps.
Adding mindmaps in Wikka pages
There are two options for including mindmaps:
1. Linking to a Freemind map
See Wikka in action:
Place a link to a FreeMind map on a wiki page, for example:
http://yourdomain.com/freemind/freemind.mm
No special formatting is necessary.
See: Inline Map Example.No special formatting is necessary.
2. Embedding a Freemind map
See Wikka in action:
Paste the FreeMind data directly into a wiki page:
- Open a FreeMind file with a text editor.
- Select all, and copy the data.
- Browse to your Wikka site and paste the Freemind data into a page.
The next stage of development will be to plan for actions that generate FreeMind data
Not directly related to Wikka, but visit FreeMind keyboard shortcuts for a list of keyboard shortcuts that can be used when editing maps.
Impact
FreeMind integration has become one of the most appreciated features of Wikka by adepts of mindmapping techniques (see Independent Wikka Reviews).
Wikka's code has been implemented by other wiki engines like Xwiki.
