Squeak and concept maps.

Hi friends squeakers and smalltalkers!:
I am not assiduous participant, but I would like to sound out your opinions and ideas on a subject that I investigate. I compile information, on the one hand about conceptual/mental maps and it use, and on the other hand on Squeak/Smalltalk. At the moment I have not gone beyond this compilation, when yesterday, I felt sparks in my mind, something that in "rare" occasion happens to me… |-) The question would be: have you had experience, or at least references, of development or use of conceptual/mental maps with environments or tools of Squeak/Smalltalk?. Those sparks said me that theoretical foundations of both subjects are interlace, being able to combine (it is my impression), reinforcing itself, to offer investigation solutions to us, study and knowledge, that it "craving" to me, quite powerful. Any indication that you have the kindness to contribute will be received with happines. Wishing all of you have had very nice Sunday thanks for your attention. -- Andrés. ______________________________________ El bienestar de la humanidad, su paz y seguridad son inalcanzables, a menos y hasta que su unidad sea firmemente establecida.

Hi Andrés,
I was thinking about mind maps and Squeak for quite a while and I think that is a good combination. At this moment I'm using two programs for "mind flow" stuff: * The first one is Free Mind, a mind mapping tool in java. The most impressive thing is that you can sketch so quickly your ideas as in paper and then, on a second look, work on details. (graphical layout and color of branches, links, images, etc) * The second is Leo, for Literate Editor with Outlines. Is some kind of "deconstructing cognitive tool". You can import files and made chunks of it in any order you want and create an outline which gives you, at the same time, the view of the all and the part. And that outline just fits your way of organizing and thinking because you create it as you work. I think that Squeak is a great tool because we think in multimedia technicolor :), not just images, or relations, but sound, animation, etc. and the metamedium abilities of Squeak are nice for that. I don't know if I would made the thing from the scratch, may be it's easier, but I think that would be more interesting if software like Leo could bring structuring capabilities (outlines, clones, hierarchies) to the multimedia capabilities of Squeak and each program/environment present itself as a service to the other. After all, its all about messages. Just random thinking :).

This is how I use Squeak to organize thoughts and record ideas. I took inspiration from Dan's Seven Implementations talk. I create one project per topic in the topmost World. Within a project world, I use the top 2/3 top for objects and project thumbnails and the bottom 1/3 for minimized workspace windows. I also 'duplicate' frequently used menu items (e.g. 'new morph', 'objects') from World menu to this area. This gives me a simple and effective workspace to think through ideas one at at time. The same setup is good enough to present to others, so I no longer have to prepare slides separately. My image is also small enough to fit in a 512MB USB flash memory along with Squeak executables, so I no longer have to lug a computer along with me to be productive. Hope this helps ..
