Bug#622960: RFA: freemind -- Java Program for creating and viewing Mindmaps
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request an adopter for the freemind package.
The package description is:
Taking the Concept-Mapping approach to Human-Computer Interface design.
A mind mapper, and at the same time an easy-to-operate hierarchical editor
with strong emphasis on folding. These two are not really two different
things, just two different descriptions of a single application. Often used
for knowledge and content management.
.
FreeMind doesn't work with classpath based Java implementations. Use OpenJDK
(or Sun's Java), and check freemind(1) for more information.
Additional notes:
1. reason is lack of time.
2. upstream is supportive for anybody willing to take over. Contact them
through the SourceForge project.
3. package is also used in Ubuntu, lot of visibility, yeah!
4. The source code of the package is available under
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java/trunk/freemind/#_trunk_freemind_
and is under group maintenance from pkg-java-maintainers, see for a
start http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/
5. I'd be of course happy to support anybody willing to take over the
package, and explain the tricks of the package if required (not many,
I think).
6. I'll probably orphan the package with the next major release (1.0?).
