Zim – A Desktop Wiki

Not long ago, I ran through a bunch of wiki programs and eventually landed on Zim as my comfort zone. It's very light, looks pretty good, and just works! The syntax is a bit weird, and as someone mentioned, it doesn't handle code very well. Still really great and an easy recommend, though.

I did nearly the same thing trying to get a knowledge base started for high speed digital circuit board design. I don't have much time to work on it these days though, so it's still light on content. I love how simple Zim is to work with and export to a static site but eventually it would be ideal to allow anyone to edit like a typical wiki.

is your wiki still public? the link at the end of the article didn't work for me.

I should probably update that post. I took it down because of some issues with my hosting and then never really got around to bringing it back up. at the time, it only had about 20-30 items though.

I can tell you the export to HTML functionality is solid, but for something like a wiki you really need searchability which as far as I know zim templates do not provide. The available templates are also not responsive other than maybe the eight-five-zero theme that i modified for my site.
