Hi, I think this is aimed toward documenting brainstorm sessions...For an example of commercial software that does this check http://www.mindjet.com
Never used dia, but duplicate functionality shouldn't be an issue IMO -- a brief glance through the 'net' section should reveal zillions of duplicate-functionality packages.
For myself, I'd love something like this in debian - and I'd encourage Roman to continue his work toward making it totally free. However I've never packaged anything so I can't comment on technical issues :)
Roman, you should look at free java components - especially check out the free-java-sdk, gij, gcj, classpath packages.

Hi,I dowloaded and had a look. To start withm you've hardcoded the path the java in your program, which is bad:jepri@luciole:~$ ontographics/usr/bin/ontographics: line 2: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/bin/java: No such file or directory /usr/bin/ontographics: line 2: exec: /usr/lib/j2se/1.4/bin/java: cannot execute: No such file or directoryAlso, I'm not sure about the actual function of your program. It draws some rather good looking lines and boxes, but there's a couple of programs in Debian that already do that (e.g. Dia ). And they don't need a non-free program to do it.Maybe I missed some functionality somewhere?

Ontographics is a Java program, which (at the moment) depends on j2sdk1.4, which is not in Debian and non-free. The application itself is GPLed, so it could only go into contrib. My plans are to make it working with free stuff only, but it is not sure, when this will be finished. The homepage for the program is here: http://ontographics.com/source/ The Debian stuff (source and binary packages) can be found here: http://ontographics.com/source/debian/ What do I have to do, to get these things uploaded into Debian?
