Bug Description
"Zim is a WYSIWYG text editor. It aims at bringing the concept of a wiki to your desktop. For example every page is saved as a text file with wiki markup. Pages can contain links to other pages, and are saved automatically. Creating a new page is as easy as linking to a non-existing page. Pages are ordered in a hierarchical structure that gives it the look and feel of an outliner."
It states it is a WYSIWYG text editor, which no one knows what that is, and it doesn't even really explain it. Even the description of "It aims at bringing the concept of a wiki to your desktop" is not really that helpful to an end user. Describing what it actually does before what it technically is or what it aims to do would be more helpful. The second paragraph is a much better description that would not confuse a user.
