Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a nonexistent -page. All data is stored in plain text files with wiki formatting. Various -plugins provide additional functionality, like a task list manager, an -equation editor, a tray icon, and support for version control. +Zim aims to bring the concept of a wiki to your desktop. Every page is +saved as a text file with wiki markup. Pages can contain links to other +pages, and are saved automatically. Creating a new page is as easy as +linking to a non-existing page. This tool is intended to keep track of +TODO lists or to serve as a personal scratch book. But it will also +serve you when writing longer and more complicated documents. -Zim can be used to: - * Keep an archive of notes - * Keep a daily or weekly journal - * Take notes during meetings or lectures - * Organize task lists - * Draft blog entries and emails - * Do brainstorming +A "desktop wiki" means that we try to capture the idea of a wiki, not +as a webpage but as a collection of files on your local file system +that can be edited with a GUI application. The main focus is a kind +of personal wiki that serves for all kind of notes: todo-lists, +addresses, brainstorm ideas etc. + +But we want to go further then just a wiki filled with random content. +It should also be possible to use you random notes as the basis for +more structured data: articles, presentations etc. Zim will not include +tools to layout a presentation or something like that, you should use +your office suite of choice for that, but it should be a tool that can +deliver all the content for a presentation in a form that only needs a +template and some layout before usage. Therefore certain features +normally not found in wikis will be added. + +NOTE: Zim can be expanded with plugins. From 'preferences' go to +'plugins' and anything marked 'failed' can be installed either +from SBo or pip. These aren't dependencies; Zim runs without them. |
