This is related to pizzagate in that there are so many names, organizations and different connections between all of them that it is hard to keep it all in focus and doing this is key into putting the spotlight on the players involved. Having some software to help with making those type of connections would be useful and I have only once seen a visual map on here before but I can't find it again.
I have been looking at software to use for visualizing data. So, if you have a mindmap or similar software you are using, what is it?
So far the most appealing for me is https://kumu.io since a public project is free, web-based, uses permissions, and it can import/export JSON data which is a format that I can format data into for uploading.
Sample JSON data I uploaded - https://kumu.io/checkSanity/testproject#testmap
You can easily add rules for coloring/stylizing the connections based on tags. Connections can have descriptions and links to reference the connection.
It can do stuff like fork so, for example, someone could fork the existing map, add changes they think should be made and submit it to be approved.
It would be nice to have a map of known connections that can be included in the executive summary as well.

Been thinking this myself - its so complex the only way is to map it like in some SciFi movie. Its almost like we need new laser holographic projection technology and voice activated mapping software that zooms you in and out of each small part of the puzzle.

I am afraid to use a software program to compile sensitive data, you don't know who has access on the other end. Think about it. I just use a pen and paper with lines and circles, just like the program, except I'm the only one who can see it and know what I'm doing. Just a thought.....

Might be better to use either the official wiki or a mirrored verson for the sources. Then the links can be updated as the case is

Thanks, this reminds me more of Maletgo Casefile. It seems to share the same set of features, but kumu appears to be a bit more aesthetic.

This is a good idea as is compiling detailed evidence and connections in legal case building software.
