neighbors
Perfect neighbors (actually closely related to Visual Language):
Concept Mapping wiki (Temporarily(?) offline as of 2006-09-10) - (no wikinode yet) - which itself should connect w/
Freemind wiki (needs WikiNode) Wiki that discuss SignLanguage:
Wikibooks: American sign language,
Wikibooks: visual language interpreting ... any others?
Artistic neighbors (creating visual language):
the Open Clip Art Library wiki - collecting, creating, distributing public clipart (
was here) (needs WikiNode)
Math Songs wiki shows a different way of presenting math equations -- one that is more "visual", more "auditory", and hopefully easier to understand and remember. Much like "visual language" is a way of presenting things in format that is hopefully easier to understand and remember.
IBDoFWikka is building maps of (fictional) worlds. timelines can be seen as a form of visual language. How many timeline-oriented wiki?
Wikiversity: Wiki Campus Radio is the closest thing I know of to a
"audio wiki".
neighbors that talk about tools:
"Geographical Information Systems for Sahana" discusses "open source GIS software tools for the humanitarian programmes." such as disaster management.
the Google Mapki talks about an EarthMapTool: the Google Maps API.
Inkscape wiki - InkScape SVG editor
Camerapedia - all about cameras. (the data recovery wiki mentions the
"PhotoRec" tool can sometimes recover photos from a damaged memory card.) the
"where to find a map" wiki (needs wikinode) the

Gimp, the GNU image manipulation program wiki (needs wikinode)
Technical neighbors (building tools for the artists):
Open G wiki for the G VisualProgramming language: "OpenG is an organized community committed to the development and use of open source LabVIEW tools, applications, frameworks, and documentation."
the LabVIEW Wiki discusses GOOP, "Graphical Object-Oriented Programming."
GfxAlgo - algorithms and math related to graphics and geometry
LiteratePrograms.org -- compared to programs printed in a boring black-and-white monospace font, literate programs can be seen as a few steps toward VisualProgramming.
the Open Graphics Project (OGP) (open hardware) is developing graphics cards with fully published specs and open source drivers.
