XMind (Open Source Brainstorming and Mind Mapping Software) XMind is an open source project that contributes to building a cutting-edge brainstorming/mind-mapping facility, focused on both usability and extendability. It helps people in capturing ideas into visually self-organized charts and sharing them for collaboration and communication. Currently supporting mind maps, fishbone diagrams, tree diagrams, org-charts, logic charts, and even spreadsheets. Often used for knowledge management, meeting minutes, task management, and GTD. With its feature of open-source (except some professional features), XMind makes it possible for you to integrate the software into your product, store data into XMind files, or even build your own mind mapping software based on XMind. NOTE: If you upgrade xmind from a older version, keep a backup of your settings: ~/.xmind/workspace/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/ then remove the old file ~/.xmind and finally restore your settings after the first launch of the upgraded xmind.
