Migrating from zim to org-mode ?

Migrating from zim to org-mode ?

[Olivier Berger]

Hi.

Is there docs already compiled by someone having "migrated" from Zim, a
desktop wiki [0], to Emacs + org-mode ?

Zim also uses text files, so I guess a few conversion scripts wouldn't
be so hard, but of course if someone already tried it, it would save me
time and effort.

Some useability / convenience comparison betw Zim and Org-Mode would be
interesting to me too.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Beware that, out-of-the-box, org doesn't provide any wiki
functionality. Sure you can link documents, but it doesn't
automatically infer links from already existing documents / camelcased
words. I don't think it would be hard for a seasoned elisp developer
to come up with an extension, but little interested has been shown. I
will eventually do it when my elisp skills reach the required level,
though, for me it's the only thing missing.

Thanks, I know that, but what I was looking for was also a way to import
existing Zim files into Org....

Otherwise, the CamelCase linking would be quite convenient IMHO.

That'd be cool ;)

The issue has been discussed in December 2009:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-12/msg00573.html

and also one year ago
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-06/msg00350.html

good luck with the implementation,
