Over the last days, I've looked for a software which would help me to recall facts, organize my ideas and to develop new ones. In other words, I was looking for a [desktop wiki](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_wiki).

Yes, [basket](http://basket.kde.org) would be the canonical software for KDE users such as me, and I've indeed used it sporadically. It is, however, quite buggy and a real resource hog since version 1.0.3. Despite this fact, it has not been updated since one year.

Alternatives are, [at first glance](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_wiki), not rare. Well ... 😉

I've finally settled for [Zim](http://zim-wiki.org). It has just what I need, and not here and there and finally a thousands of gadgets more.

The screenshot shows the most recent version 0.28. I've installed the Fedora binary as Mandriva only offers 0.26. \*shrug\*
