I wonder however if we could not instead wish for a "general purpose" paper-note editing tools, where you can link notes together, and drag them around after the "post-it" paradigm... For this mindmaps(TM) would be just a special use case...

We can definitely wish for this. I'll start wishing right away
But seriously, you are right about it being better to conceive of this as a special case. However, someone has to write the thing, and while there seem to be several people willing to use java it probably can't be done with java because of the limitations of the VM on the iliad. That leaves C++ I think, and I get the impression there aren't too many C++ programmers hanging around here with time on their hands. I'm wandering dangerously close to the limits of my knowledge of programming etc. here, so correct me if I wrong.
But then again (taking a confident step beyond the limits of my knowledge), the scribbles are written directly to the framebuffer so does this mean that the limitations of the installed java could be less important (e.g. no gui toolkit or at least no swing, perhaps no AWT). If the java VM could write directly to the framebuffer then perhaps someone with java skills could write something to manipulate scribbles directly on the iliad.
