"...is that the charts wont be able to be changed dynamically by the user

Not sure that I agree with the "...from within the wiki, which is what
wikis are for." statement.

As a desktop wiki platform, Zim does a beautiful job of providing a way to
enter marked-up text, define inter-page linking to capture associations,
and link to files generated/maintained in other applications that are
associated with the topic of the page.  I use these features (and others:
tagging, tasks, etc...) daily as a central part of my work-flow within my
wikis.  Probably many other users do too.

I view dynamically editing embedded content within the wiki page as "nice
to have" but not essential.  Dynamically editing textual content is what is
essential to me.  Apologies if I misunderstood the point, but to me it
implied that Zim was missing the fundamental purpose of wiki's, and I
respectfully disagree: I think Zim is just about perfect...

Keep up the good work, Jaap.
