Just realized that the converter can not handle multi-level bulleted lists - unfortunately I have hundreds of notes using that tomboy feature (basically the only feature I use in tomboy, other than links between notes).
Hence migrating to zim is a no-go for now. I am eager to give zim a shot as it looks so promising but without the import feature, I can't. I can assume this will be a very popular request since tomboy comes installed by default with gnome.

In the best of scenarios, supporting both import and export to tomboy would allow the average gnome user to test drive zim for a while without risk of losing info. But clearly importing from tomboy is the minimum we need.

Jaap: for an xml schema of tomboy this can help:
