I will, when I know them myself.

I do want some kind of spatial model, because I can't deny that spatial
ordering of things is quite an important aspect in mind maps. But how to
avoid the problem of an euclidean area and positioning things with
absolute coordinates you mentioned? I have thinked about applitude
specific metadata for placing cells relatively to their neighbours.
Of course the mind map structure could also be shown "normally"
mathematically ordered like wheel views (which were meant to be my first
steps to build mind maps on GZZ). Though, hard to say currently,
how would this it exactly work. It will be a challange to find a good
compromiss between traditional pen+paper mindmap interface and this
GZZ applitude :)

Thanks for commenting.
