Zim is a graphical text editor used to maintain a collection of wiki pages.
Each page can contain links to other pages, simple formatting and images.
Pages are stored in a folder structure, like in an outliner, and can have
attachments. 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 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
