So today i tried out a a Mindmap in Google Wave. I have always been fascinated by the concept although i haven't really tried it for real and will and have probably used it all "wrong".
The one i tried here is very simple and i found it to be restrictive in it's simplicity rather than inviting.
Mindmap
It has a rigid structure like one we could expect to see but it have been nice with some others to choose from especially one with the keyword centered. There are a number of icons to use and mark words with but i missed the possibility to highlight words and use other text-colors as additional means of differentiating.
You could also move branches but it was unclear as to it would look as a result and there was no way to undo such a move.
In summation i would say that this i something you can use for a while but i expect to see more advanced versions later on.

I agree. I have been working with the Mindmap gadget you reference. There are limiting aspects of it. I would like to make suggestions to the developer, but I cannot find a way to do that.
I use MindJet's MindManager and I would love to see something like that via Google Wave.
I think the guy behind it can be found here: http://www.brucecooper.net/2009/11/mind-map-gadget-for-google-wave.html
Good luck with your suggestions and please let me know how it went.
Hey guys, If you want to discuss improvements to my gadget, you can try this wave:

I agree its not perfect in its current form. I do plan to improve it, but these things take time. Come tell me what you want changed and I'll see what I can do.
Hey Bruce and thanks for the link to the wave.
I have voted up a number of things for new features and ideas for extensions. I also looked at the alpha version and i like the way you seem to be going with it.
I hope you will continue the good work done so far.
