Drupal Graphmind

A mind map is a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or

other items linked to and arranged around a central key word or idea.

Mind maps are used to generate, visualize, structure, and classify

ideas, and as an aid in study, organization, problem solving, decision making, and writing.
