What they say:  " Scrivener is a project management tool for writers. It won't try to tell you how to write - it just makes all the tools you have scattered around your desk available in one application.
Outline
The outliner is another way of viewing the synopses and meta-data of the documents in your project. Restructure your work easily; get an overview of the project so far and what still needs to be done; check how many scenes have Jack as the point-of-view character; read and edit an overview of a scene, a chapter or of the whole draft."

What they say:  " LucidChart allows users to create, collaborate on, and publish ... flowcharts, org charts, and other diagrams online.

You have complete control over the style of every block, line, and piece of text in your document. You can even upload your own images to use on your diagrams if you don't find what you need in the selection of pre-built blocks.

LucidChart makes it simple to invite any number of collaborators to work on a document, and then work on it together simultaneously. When you save your changes, everyone sees your changes immediately, and conflicts are resolved automatically.

The built-in group chat makes it easy to share thoughts as you work.

Instantly review a document's revision history to see who has changed the flowchart, what they changed, and when. You can view the document as it was at any time in the past, and even print past versions of the document to PDF.

Publish your document as a publicly-viewable web page, PDF, or image with a single click.

Save your document as a printable PDF, JPEG, or PNG to share via email or a printed copy.

Publish all or part of your flow chart as an always up-to-date image that's easy to embed in a blog or web page. When you later save changes to your document, the image in your blog or web page is automatically updated with the latest content."

Visual mapping and recession-proofing your job

It looks like businesses are in for a tough time in 2008 and beyond. If your employer downsizes, how can you take steps to make sure you're one of the survivors?

Here are the Knols on mind mapping

Here's a link to my main Knol entitled "mind mapping". There are cross reference items on related terms as well.


Here are the Knols on concept maps

Here's a link to my main Knol entitled "Concept map". There are cross reference items on related terms as well.


Roots of visual mapping

This is the start of a historical survey of visual mapping. It kicks off with one well-known classic example, and follows up with a very interesting map that has more recently come to my attention. I've written about origins of mind mapping before, but now I'm assembling samples. I've also mentioned elsewhere (see the comments) that I'd like to get samples of Idea Sunbursting that Dr. Perusek wrote to me about.

Mindmapping for creativity

There's a lot to like in the (unrestrained!) enthusiasm this author shows for Mindmaps.   [Vic]
