I use zim too, not very often because it has one big flaw. it did the same 
mistake we complaine about when it come to "normal" wikis. It's off line 
only.

There are a few small points I don't like with zim but alltogether I'd give it 
8/10 out of 10 possible points.

I test zim as the releases come out so I can be counted in the "testers".

I would be good if you didn't fin yet another format, something, hmm, XML 
based (though I'd very much like to something simpler and more perlish too) 
and I believe that being able to, at least, read freemind format would be 
good.

docuwiki has support for freemind through a java applet I think.

I sure will.

there's another KDE project, slightly related, that I am following too. 
KGraphViewer. I do some testing for it too. you may want to have a look at.

$>svn co svn://svn.gna.org/svn/kgraphviewer/trunk kgraphviewer
