I am of the opinion that just like version control, Zim is best served by hooking into third-party best of breed tools for specialized functions like this. DokuWiki for example tries to do this, but I would turn it off if I could, as I keep my DW source files in VCS. If the bzr hook functionality w

Dear Dotan, Most of the bugs you submitted are related to the way Zim visualizes content and to the fact that you stores code into it. I don't see that any of these bugs is so severe to limit the diffusion of Zim Wiki. In fact, they don't even see bugs as far as I'm concerned. The idea behind col

SparkleShare is nice with zim. I notice that due to the frequent saving in zim, there is a rush of updates being pushed to the git server. The problem is, as Jaap notes, that if a page changes behind the scene while somebody is editing a page, there will be a conflict. -- Svenn _

Alright, I'm gonna strike when the iron is hot. Both my Python knowledge and my time is limited to do this myself, but I definitely want this feature. As a project manager and an open source believer, I see many opportunities for Zim to become a main tool for small project teams. So, I want to

Hi, Together with a friend I'm sharing a Zim notebook for a private project. We share the notebook via Dropbox. We did toggle the shared notebook setting. It is working, but we have to be careful. We are aware about the pitfall that we can not change the same page at the same time. However,

I believe the use of DVCS is the best way to use zim as a long-term wiki. Maybe we should define how it would work; I'm interested in upgrading the DVCS plugin in this direction. Damien On 02/29/2012 05:57 PM, Greg Warner wrote: Or maybe something like a shared dropbox folder would work. I'm

Or maybe something like a shared dropbox folder would work. I'm not sure how it does conflict resolution, but it's probably better than nothing and might be more user friendly than a VCS. On Wed, Feb 29, 2012 at 9:55 AM, Jaap Karssenberg < jaap.karssenb...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Wed, Feb 29, 201
