Labyrinth v0.2 "Get the Picture?" has been released
This is the second in the "Out of Nothing" series of releases, which will result (at some point) in a V1.0 release.
What is it?
-----------
Labyrinth is a mind-mapping tool for GNOME. It is written in python and uses cairo for its drawing.
Screenshots (and a little more info) is available at its homepage:
