What they say:  " We have developed a new program, Dendroscope, for the interactive visualization and navigation of phylogenetic trees. The program provides all standard tree visualizations and is optimized to run interactively on trees containing hundreds of thousands of taxa. The program provides tree editing and graphics export capabilities. To support the inspection of large trees, Dendroscope offers a magnification tool. The software is written in Java 1.4 and installers are provided for Linux/Unix, MacOS X and Windows XP.
Dendroscope is a user-friendly program for visualizing and navigating phylogenetic trees, for both small and large datasets."
Observations:  This is mapping in a very specialised area, showing evolutionary connections, but I dare say it could be stretched to other forms of hiearchical visualization!

What they say:  " Work-in-progress material by Danny Ayers. Nothing really works yet, but I'm documenting as I go along.
What is Pragmatron?
A Semantic Web-based Personal Knowledge Manager
A massively over-engineered Notepad
Both of the above, but only 2. has been implemented (well, nearly)"
Observations:  I'm not very hopeful about this one. Last entry is April 2005 and it doesn't really seem to be going anywhere. Danny Ayers is still around and blogging.

Articles
Vegetable or royalty – take your pick with mindmapping

Whether you have vegetable or royal aspirations, I can confirm that you'll find mindmapping a great way of calming yourself down when you have many calls on your time, ideas buzzing round your head and objectives to meet. But it must fit your own personal style of thinking, and you must set aside the time to do it! That's how I bust stress, not by mapping out my stressful times. But we're all different, and maybe this will work for you.   [Vic]

Mindmapping to plan your life

To each individual reader, mindmap topics don't come much bigger than this -- on the personal level, anyway.   [Vic]

The mindmapping route to project-team building

This piece sets out what seems to me to be a novel use for mindmapping: Staffing a project, functional unit or department. It is a good illustration of the flexibility of the mindmapping approach. I often use mindmapping in drawing up job specifications and candidate profiles, but not quite in the way described here. I think I'll give it a try.   [Vic]

Research and mindmapping to kickstart your writing

Here is another slant on getting your writing going -- research and a dash of mindmapping.   [Vic]

Writing, come what may

There's only a brief mention of mindmapping here, but it's obviously important to the author. Anyway, to me it's a great article on getting moving with writing. I hope you find it so, too.   [Vic]
