I've checked it out. Actually, it's not Google code, but simply an open-source native app stored in Google Projects, an open-source code repository. Nevertheless, it's a good mind-mapping software. Only thing is that it doesn't use Google Drive and I'm not sure if it can be integrated easily into Google Sites (due to Google Sites having issues with iframe elements).
I tried, cool! The map mind can be embedded in google site. Interface of mind map is easy to use, allow embed youtube link, images, and audio, attachment and links. Free for 3 mindmap and allow collaboration, invite is similar to Google for edit/read rights. There is also have icon, chat, comments and collaborative editing. Yeu Ann, we can include that as guide in student portfolio.
Great! I'll try out the free account for the Mindomo next week. So I take it that you guys want to use this as the recommended mind-map app for our students?

D3.js is a JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data. D3 helps you bring data to life using HTML, SVG and CSS. D3’s emphasis on web standards gives you the full capabilities of modern browsers without tying yourself to a proprietary framework, combining powerful visualization components and a data-driven approach to DOM manipulation.
Came across this Javascript library that can take in dynamic data from websites and convert them into all kinds of graphs and visualization maps. We could use this for our mind-maps too.
And it's free open-source!
I think Yeu Ann posted this elsewhere, so I am adding it here to keep a more permanent record.
Lucidchart and MindMeister (see earlier bookmark) are now both linked to Google Drive. These present potential solutions to adding digital mind maps to our e-portfolio system.
