Hi Angie I am working with mindman 3.0. The next version (3.5) will have it's roll out these days. In my opinio it is a great and easy to use tool. Please refer to their homepage at: http://www.mindman.com/ You can even compile java based web pages from your mindmaps, including links to whatever other pages you like (take a look at my new homepage, not perfect, but very quickly produced with this tool - though this is not it's primary purpose). Good luck Joerg At 12:15 25.09.98 +1000, you wrote: >I am a new member of this list and not sure of the types of discussion. > However, I am seeking some information about a software package which will >produce maps of attitudes, ideas opinions etc. > The idea I have for use of the package is; during initial interviews with >young people (yp) to build a map of each yp's opinions and attitudes >towards (eg. school, parents, the community) and to map their value system >together with them.
