As a Software Engineer we had a lot of discussion on SE design. Although we sync every document on the development process on Google Doc, mind map just didn’t fit in Google doc yet. The best we can do is to store a copy and share it online.

To me, Mind map is an ir-replaceable piece of tools (yet) as agile note taking tools. And an eFormat is even greater than a paper one, due to the portability and extensibility. Does anyone have a good solution on “cloud-sharing” mind map?

(We are using FreeMind at the moment)

Thanks

Hi @yurib, excellent suggestion! However I would advise you to add some more information regarding the tool you recommend, as only providing a link is somewhat frowned upon. Still good answer! – Ivo Flipse Dec 29 '10 at 9:47
I'll keep it in mind for the future. – yurib Dec 29 '10 at 10:01

Xmind: http://www.xmind.net/ I don't think it has web-based editing, but it should at least be a step up from FreeMind for you.
