Wikis are great for collaboration and note taking.
ZIMis one such package that helps you create a wiki on your desktop.
Or in other words you’re free to use it as an excellent note taking software.
ZIM is a WYSIWYG text editor which aims to bring the concept of a wiki to your desktop.
So why would you need a wiki on your desktop?
The notes are stored as text files with wiki markup.
This means that you’re able to edit them with other applications as well.
With the keybindings and wiki syntax, ZIM has become my favorite and I seldom use Tomboy now.
Nevertheless,here is the download page.
ZIM can be used on Windows as well, only you require thegtk+,perlandgtk-perlbindings.
Also check out theinstructions for Windows Install.
Try it and let us know how you liked it or do you use another note taking utility?
I know BasKet can do similar things but I am not a big KDE fan.
