FYI: There is a mindmapping solution built right into Lotus Notes: www.mindplan.com. We use in our company. It has also project management features.

I like things neat and orderly, and as far as I can tell that's not the intent of mind maps. They're about showing related ideas, but they don't show enough contextual data for me. I like traditional flow charts because they convey how the various things relate. Mind maps just show you what relates. Or at least that's what my take away was. I'm glad it works for you, though. :)

"I think mind mapping would be an ideal way to visually see how your LotusScript or Java code is laid out."

I've been doing this a little over a year now and I find it helps show where different functions and methods should be, which may or may not necessarily be where I put them. It's also great for documenting a lotusscript class as you can have it spit out an outline which creates instant documentation.

It also serves as a reference guide for all the different script libraries, java agents, classes, etc. and gives the customer a chance to see the backend workings of an application and why something is taking as long as it takes.

Cool subject, thanks Chris!
