I don't know much about IOS development, but as I understand it, I think you'd have to rewrite the whole storage layer of Zim too. You don't just put arbitrary file trees on an IOS device and then use an editor to edit the files. The only way Zim could work on IOS would be to implement file embedded in an SQLite database locally, or read and write DIRECTLY from a service like Dropbox. It's not just a matter of tweaking the UI to make it small-screen friendly, even if you have a GUI toolkit that supports the target. Brendan Kidwell
