RE: [seul-edu] concept mapping app

[David Bucknell <david@members.iteachnet.org>]

I think this might be a good project if you can pull it off. There are 
desktop tools, notably Dia, which is good but still quite basic, and 
there are high-end, engineering-oriented tools, which come with high-end 
learning and installation curves. Your Web-based idea with gd could be 
quite useful, I suspect, as there is _so_ much interest in concept 
mapping in schools these days -- and most of them are buying the app 
called Inspiration. It's something with which they cannot do without.
