I recently had an idea of sharing various mind maps that I have made and put it all under one big 'research' mind map to share with the world. That way I can do research in a more transparent way and share my knowledge with the world in a format that both I and other people can use.<p>I only started with this idea and currently I mostly have an outline of what I want to learn and I slowly add more and more things to the mind map. It would be interesting to see what will come of it in a few years time but for now I hope some of you will find the idea interesting.<p>Perhaps you too use mind maps for your note taking. I would love to hear what your approach to note taking is.
