Latest additions to mindmapping software

I fell behind with getting new information mapping tools that I knew of into mind-mapping.org, so here’s the catch-up: Six new tools, and very interesting ones they are.  This week’s entries are heavy on the development side.  The first four are to help developers build software that produces information maps, then one that helps web publishers turn mind maps into websites, and finally one that lets you present the pros and cons of a discussion visually.
