-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, I've been using onenote for a long time on windows, and looking for something similar on linux, I came to love Zim. Now Zim is available for windows too... which is a God send. Still, the advantages of oneNote still outweight the disadvantage (closed source, vendor lock-in).
I just wanted to share my notes on comparing zim and onenote. This is personal, some features that are important for me will not be for you, etc. Anyway, I hope this is useful. Remember that OneNote has the reputation of being a 'killer app'; some people won't abandon windows because of onenote. So I'd say that mimiking some features from OneNote will lure some people to try zim. Better in Onenote Important Overall Organization (tabs, colors, etc). The more pages you have, the more helpful Way better search (highlights occurrences globally) Tables Paste html, keep format. It also pastes a link to where you copied it from, and time Move graphs around A page can stretch; As big as a whiteboard if needed; one can start writing on any area, like a whiteboard Not that important Audio recording and syncing it with text. Good for taking notes on lectures Scans text in pictures. That is, it does an OCR and highlights matches when searching Hand-written text recognition Better in zim Multi-platform (linux - win) Can be put on a thumbdrive Plain text, no vendor lock-in Tracking changes with a version control system possible camelCase creates new page Equation support Code highlighting possible (GTK after all). Important for a pastebin Oh! one last comment. The features that I find more important are actually easier to implement than the ones that I find non-important (audio, OCR etc). This should be good news. Best, - -Jose - -- Jose Quesada, PhD.
