I noticed the name conflict a year or two ago. The 'openZIM' project's
web site indicates it was created in 2009. I don't see how they could
have missed the existing Zim Desktop Wiki project at that time.

I don't understand exactly what openZIM does at a low level. It's not
clear at first glance what markup language is used to encode rich
text. Why not use the more widely-accepted EPUB format, and create a
nice set of EPUB readers for various platforms including UI features
geared towards large wikis and large reference works?
