the best docs we have are as andrew already described, and as vincent said...
come to irc or ask questions by email and generally you'll get answers. the
best docs we have are existing sample apps and source, but not all apps show
off all bits of efl. some are almost unused, so asking questions is the best
thing to do.

if it's a mindmap you want then chances are you want a combination of "entry
widgets" from elementary where you can, i guess, type in a thought/concept and
then evas vg (vector graphic) objects to draw vector paths linking these. maybe
an elm_grid to lay them out in a regular "virtual coordinate" grid. maybe a
scroller to hold them inside to scroll around? the only thing i think you'll
have to do here is, for efficiency, track the viewport of the scroller (or the
position of objects it moves around) and only create the objects that visibly
intersecet the viewport, and delete those that do not to keep the object count
sensible.

jump onto irc and/or use this email list to join in and you can get help.
