Kdissert

Kdissert would be a candidate profiting from just using the odf-format. It then would be possible to create mindmaps just out of an existing document structure. It then could become also another form of viewing a document.

The other way is already possible, exporting a mindmap to a odf file. From a workflow point of view that's more important I think. You brainstorm and create the document structure in a mindmap, then fill in the details in a regular document.

Yes, I agree.
It actually has been a feature request of mine for quite some time to be able to start kdissert right from inside KWord and show the document structure there.
Moving the chapter-nodes around or annotating them would then alter the document inside KWord.
KDissert would be great for coupling a KWord doc with a KPresenter presentation as well; where loading just shows all the chapter nodes and exporting to KPresenter allows you to save all the graphics but also create pretty graphics based on textual structure information like lists etc.

Anyway; we just need someone to actually do it, which tends to be easier said than done ;)

This might be a stupid question but did you ask the author of Semantik [1] (aka KDissert) already?

I did :)

But I have to admit that that was well over a year ago...

Me too :-)

But even more than a year ago. But it was said it is impossible at that time. I made that comment because this actual discussions might show that it is not impossible.

Some kind of Koffice integration will be provided, but not until KDE4.

The Semantik code base is too young at the moment, and KWord 2.0 is not ready either.

Merging the two documents into one will lead to a conflicts as the two views do not represent the same thing:

* when the mindmap is changed, the text formatting in the text representation will be silently broken (picture positions, paragraphs, line breaks ..)
* when the text representation changes then the map structure will be broken (and parsing is hard(tm)).
