Hey, Marko.  I found one I think you might like.  The download requires users to sign up with the site, but the program was created at Tufts University, and I think their main interest is that users are able to update the program.  Submitted e-mail addresses do not require validation, and there is a choice on sign up to receive e-mail alerts of updates.  It was a simple process without the validation.

I have a mind mapper already called FreeMind, which is very basic.  This one is over the top in with features and doesn't compare with FreeMind.  First, the interface is much better.  Also, Images and URLs can be added to nodes, and there is even a feature for creating a presentation style file which moves through the map process.  For anyone with FreeMind this would be a big step up...

Not sure about the download process, but the program was clearly created by some of the staff at Tufts University, so at least it should be a safe download.  Seems safe to me so far, anyway.

Here is the link if you think it is worth a look:

Will get round to looking at this one over the weekend FS

Thanks Marko.  Too bad there's not a sample to work with or a tutorial (I couldn't find one), but I did run across a YouTube video that has helped me understand the program a little better.  If you like, here's the vid:

Hey, marko:  Did this one slip through the cracks or is there a problem with it of some sort?  I have begun using this to scheme ideas, and it is really very good software.  The community couldn't be better as it is an open source community being managed by a university and there is good video support on YouTube.  I checked to see if it was up but was unable to locate it, so I thought I would check back with you about it.

Yep, this one definitely slipped through the cracks FS - just added it now though: https://freewarebb.com/files/file/11825-vue-mind-mapping-presentation/

Big thanks for this one.  I'm really becoming a fan in a hurry.  Gotta confess I don't know much about it yet, but I am getting great use of it still...
