Freemind mind-mapping software

Today I ran across Freemind [1], a mind-mapping software written in Java, which I am using to get a clearer view in a legal case. Freemind is Open Source software. It is really straight forward to use. The only thing that did not yet work properly was the transformation to pdf via XSLT [2]. The XSL file by Christoph Rissner seem to be outdated. My workaround was to fit the mindmap to a A4 landscape and print it to a Postscript file, while turning it to a PDF afterwards. So if You like to write a Freemind file to docbook stylesheet, just have a go 😉
