I'm stealing a post from Marie here, to remind myself of a great list of resources linked to Freemind, that allow for extending the use of the tool: http://www.mindmeister.com/33158470/100-ressources-autour-de-freemind
No time to analyse now, but I will surely need that in the future.

I remember that long time ago I proposed a freemind plugin for Dokeos: an alternative navigator (see http://www.dokeos.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7466 ) but I never had time or skills for developing it.
By the way also a dinamic map for learning paths is possible... so many things to do and so short time...
Actually one of our customers wants a mind-mapping tool integrated (and I can remember the university of Lecce asking showing interest for one as well), but it doesn't make sense to develop one in Dokeos if it is not in AJAX and doesn't allow for multiple people editing it (which is not the case with neither freemind nor all the other alternatives I have seen so far in the open-source world, and I am quite alert with these).
OK. But if we need only a viewer of directories or of a mysql table, the mysql mapper http://www.goermezer.de/content/view/386/376/ can produce maps (that we can view in flash) of documents subdirectories.
Only for navigation, non for mindmapping.
For ajax mindmapping I prefer to embed one of http://www.go2web20.net/#map applications: Dokeos is not the "Figaro tuttofare" (general handyman) of applications!
... or viewinh the structure of a document like http://wikimindmap.org/viewmap.php?wiki=en.wikipedia.org&topic=doke…
