zim brings the concept of a wiki to your desktop. store information, link pages and edit with wysisyg markup or directly typing some lightweight markup syntax and see it previewed asyoutype. creating a new page is easy by either clicking on the "create new note" button, by linking to a nonexisting page or by writing a camelcase name in any note. pages are stored in a folder structure, like in an outliner, in plain text format with lightweight markup, and can have attachments (stored along the notes).
