Yes, it's the usual conflict "scrolling vs clicking". I personally prefer the content distributed on more pages and less scrolling. Having more pages also increases you SEO, btw. However, it's one of the longest discussions in web design... :) It's really up to you. Marco Cevoli On Fri, Sep 25,

Hi, regarding the website, I would advocate for keeping the page as simple as Zim. When I first discovered Zim Wiki I was quite impressed by the fact that it said "this web page has been created with Zim" (or something similar). Just a thought. Marco Cevoli On Fri, Sep 25, 2015 at 4:18 PM, Aless

Hi Brendan, all, Thanks, will create a new page with materials, might also be a good place to link to screencasts as well. In general I'm thinking it might not be a bad idea to try and update the manual with an "user guide" chapter. I feel Brendan's text is a good start. Also would want the webs

Thanks for sharing, Jaap. I think I mentioned this when I did a presentation a couple of years ago, but I didn't make a point of saying "you should add it to the Zim web site", but I'm saying that now. http://www.glump.net/howto/desktop/getting-work-done-in-zim > On 11 December 2013 I gave a talk

Thanks Jaap, nice introduction to zim. "Just a „notebook“ with text files" - this was actually the reason I choose zim. I knew none of the tools did exactly what I wanted, so at least I wanted to be able to run external tools like grep easily. cheers, Tomek On 21 September 2015 at 20:12, Jaap Ka

Dear all, Last weekend I held a presentation about zim at the NLLGG (the dutch Linux user group). Apart from socializing in real life, I also used the opportunity to formalize some of my thoughts about zim. For those interested I put a copy of the slides in Dutch and English here: http://zim-wiki.
