freemind for bidding system notes

FreeMind is a free mind mapping software. You may check the official page and the wikipedia entry for download and tutorials.

Why is this interesting for bridge players? Well, I have decided to try using it to keep bidding system notes. In my experience, it's better than a wiki engine for this purpose. You don't have (yet?) the collaborative editing, but the result looks far more nicer and usable than a set of wiki pages.

You may check a preliminary work here: my system notes (requires Java enabled browser). Click around to expand/collapse nodes, some of them are incomplete but hopefully you'll get a taste of FreeMind.

I prefer software to freeware as it gives more possibilities and provide good support. I use ConceptDraw MINDMAP http://www.conceptdraw.com/en/products/cd5/main.php and think it the best software to implement the Busan's theory.

The link seems to be down. Do you have it at some other place now? Came here looking to see if anyone has done anything about mindmapping the bridge bidding system. In my view also mindmap might be the right way to store partnership understanding notes.
