==== Documentation efforts ====
* ''Shailaja Kumar'' has released [http://www.geocities.com/shaila_kishore/Freemind English documentation for FreeMind version 0.8.0 in PDF].
* ''Steve Auerweck'' is working on '''Windows .chm documentation''' of FreeMind, based on FreeMind's mind map documentation contained in the distribution. He has published his preliminary version at [http://freemind.gardennanny.com/ freemind.gardennanny.com]. You can download [http://members.bellatlantic.net/~vze297k6/freemind/FreemindHelp.zip chm version of the documentation]. Steve has demonstrated how to make the very same help available in non-Windows distributions using JavaHelp. His JavaHelp beta version is downloadable from [http://freemind.gardennanny.com/ freemind.gardennanny.com]. ''Last action: 15.7.2004.''
* FreeMind is getting indirectly documented '''here at Wiki''', especially at [[asked Questions|asked questions]] page.
* ''Simon Redding '' ([[User:Violetlight|Violetlight]]) is working on [[Under the covers|internals and API documentation]] to help him to learn the plugin APIs etc.
====Documentation in mind map form does not suffice====
The motivation for having other than mind map help is that new users are not yet used to mind map documentation. HTML help makes a transition from HTML help to mind map easier. Also, some users prefer to print the documentation, enjoying PDF documentation.
====Forum discussions====
* [http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1548716&forum_id=22101 Documentation for FreeMind in Wikibooks]
* [http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?thread_id=1493533&forum_id=22101 Where could new Documentation come from?]
====No longer active past events====
* ''Joerg Ferlein'' was working on a '''larger user manual''', written by him in German. It shall be translated into English afterwards. ''Last action: 6.5.2004.''
* ''Joerg Isselmann'' has send us a [[Tutorial effort|Tutorial]] mind map; editable directly in Wiki.
