I have setup the page for FreeMind mind mapping software. However, FreeMind also refers to a comic figure. As I am not quite versed in encyclopedia conventions, I'll leave this flaw for someone else to fix.

[edit] Bonsai link
Bonsai was definitely the wrong place to link to. I've changed it to Bonsai CVS code management system, the only computer program called Bonsai that I know of, but is that correct either? It seems a bit unlikely that such a thing would have an outliner. If there's another Bonsai program, someone please fix this. Graue 05:34, 20 May 2005 (UTC)
- Nope, it's Natara Software's Bonsai [1] Palm-OS outliner product. I've fixed the reference. RossPatterson 15:22, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Notability
I saw the notability notice put on this article. After checking the notability guidelines, I think I can safely remove the notice:
Software is considered to be notable enough for inclusion if it meets any of the following criteria: 3. Has more than 5,000 users; if software is distributed via sourceforge, download.com, or freshmeat, the number of downloads might be used to estimate the number of users
As you can see from the download page statistics at SF, as of today, only the last release (Sep 2005) has scored in total (source+Windows+Mac) more than 300,000 downloads (and counting). This seems to me beyond both the 5,000 users (and the 100,000 downloads) threshold required for a software to be considered notable, right? This said, the page is still a stub, so I encourage other WP contributors to enhance it with content. DarTar 09:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] bonsai
But what does Bonsai have to do to with FreeMind? Nothing, it's got nothing to do with it, it's advertising. Sanssheriff 20:26, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Stub
I've trimmed the article back to a stub, given we've had no references since November and it's attracting linkspam. --Ronz (talk) 01:17, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Sourced content
User Ronz has drastically removed the content from the page, including the list of features, claiming these are unsourced. Given the article contains a link to FreeMind Official Homepage & Wiki, which contains most of the removed information, this drastic removal seems unwarranted. This is not to say that no removal makes sense, just that this removal was nonselective. --Dan Polansky (talk) 12:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC) (I have a formal bias per having been heavily involved in FreeMind project.)
