#239 Should we unretire (adopt) freemind?
Opened 4 years ago by ankursinha. Modified 2 years ago

freemind is a great mind-mapping tool that's used quite often and not just in science. Unfortunately, it has been retired in Fedora. Luckily, though, it's java so one can download the jars from upstream and use them directly too.

Does anyone know java packaging well enough for us to consider unretiring freemind? (I don't, so I won't be much help other than for general spec-bumps).

On a side note, there's an actively developed FreeMind fork - Freeplane: https://www.freeplane.org/
Maybe it would be better to use that instead of abandoned FreeMind? It opens FreeMind's files and has many new features.

Java packaging is quite hard in Fedora at the moment, so let's not do these for the moment. Not closing, but marking as "hard".

I just noticed that Freeplane is available in Flathub https://flathub.org/apps/details/org.freeplane.App as well as Minder (I haven't used it yet), which supports Freemind's and Freeplane's files https://flathub.org/apps/details/com.github.phase1geo.minder
