[Design] Buzan type mindmapping somehow??

[M.Blackmore]

Just a thought, but when I did a lot of writing before the kids were
born (I early retired to be a middle aged housedad from academe, though
had had a "varied" life before the ivory towers, hence the late family
start) I found mind mapping worked wonders for my messy dyslexic thought
processes.

I'd have killed for an easy way to integrate the then burgeoning and
fascinating new facility of email into that - we discussed a lot of the
globalisation and new technology stuff (yes, it was that long ago)
around "the world" via this new fangled email, and a lot of the ideas
now current were hacked out in these formless written conversations.

Emails, discussions, drafts, quotes typed in (not much on the web then,
even predating web) revisions bandied around, reviews - all became a
tangled mess of files. Then in the late 90s I discovered Mind Manager
under Windows (I think that was the name) ... revelation. Not had any
call to use anything like that for the last 6 years, but all the same...

If some way had been possible to organise this mass of data into flows
and maps it would have been great.

As I said, just a thought, but one that can be of possible benefit to
writers and informationally dense (err...) workers dealing with
disparate threads.

A mind mapping facility wouldn't go amiss if it could /integrate/ other
information flows in the program/package/suite whatever you call it!
