Zim relased in Python - Getting it to run on the N800
 
A Python version of Zim has been released.
http://zim-wiki.org/install.html
I've got the dependencies but I don't know enough to get it running. It's stopping mid start-up because $USER is not set.

Has anyone tried it out?

That's strange. Because on my X-Term "echo $USER" gives me "user", so it should be around.

Has anyone got Zim working on Maemo and, if so, does it feel useable?

The N900 is making me think of spending money on a phone (rather than accepting a hand-me-down) for the first time in a decade. Zim would be the killer app for me.

That apps seems amazing.
I'm going to try running it in the N810

this should be very easy to get running on all N8x0 and N900... I'll give it a shot when I get home too. If $USER is the problem... a simple:
Code:
export USER=user
Would fix that..

Runs fine.
Install all dependencies with apt-get, if you need to.
Open a xterm and untar the source file in your home directory
cd ~/zim-0.43 and run zim.py from xterm
Now, more interesting, how to hildonize it.

Reporting progress on hildonization:
Got the menu in the right place
Got fullscreen key working
Fixed calendar dialog
What's next:
Hildonize file dialogs
Fix preference dialogs
Test everything else and see what needs to be fixed/hildonized

Re: Zim relased in Python - Getting it to run on the N800
 
Progress update:
Reworked preferences dialog
Fixed tasklist plugin
Maximized linkmap plugin dialog
What's next:
Try to get working screenshot and control version plugins
Try to nail down a bug for N800 people: the screen keyboard doesn't trigger the same events as the hardware keyboard
File dialogs

Maacruz, is you work-in-progress available anywhere to try out ?

Here :D
Beware, it is a bzip2 file renamed to gz to dodge forum filesize and file extension restrictions.

[Package removed, project has now a garage page]

Thank you maacruz it works incredibly well. with a small test notebook. I will test tomorrow with my main notebook.

For those interested in adding a shortcut to their application list or to one of their desktops, you just have to copy the folowing lines in a file named /usr/share/applications/hildon/zim.desktop. Don't forget to modify the Exec path to where you have extracted the fantastic bz2 file provided by maacruz.

Code:
Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=Zim
Exec=python /home/user/MyDocs/zim-0.43/zim.py

It's still buggy, there will be future releases, and I hope the patches are accepted upstream ;-)

Progress report:
Partially fixed the on-screen keyboard issue
Fixed the $USER not defined bug
Adapted the Insert Screenshot plugin to work with maemo dependencies
Built a working .deb package
As soon as the garage project page is online I'll upload the files there.

Oh, man, why'd you have to go and make my choice of a note app harder? :D I discovered Zim just as i got into Maemo and if it had been available it would have been my choice without looking around. Now i've got to decide whether to keep my notes in Zim, Conboy, or MaePad.

The garage page is up. There you'll find the package for installation and all the source code.
There is now a thread for zim in maemo:

Same here.
I had found out lately that I need a tool with the wiki capabilities of Conboy and the tree features of Maepad and notecase.
Then I discovered Conboy can sync via U1 while Maepad is good at drawings as well as has superior keyboard navigation.
While Zim now lets me import pictures which maepad can't (yet).
The current approach now is to use conboy as a wiki knowledge base while Maepad keeps all my notes.
Now Zim comes into play.
Arrgh :confused::cool:
