1 Subversion is a revision control system. While ikiwiki is relatively
2 independant of the underlying revision control system, and can easily be used without one, using it with Subversion is recommended.
4 Ikiwiki can run as a [[post-commit]] hook to update a wiki whenever commits come in. When running as a [[cgi]] with Subversion, ikiwiki automatically commits edited pages to the subversion repostory, and uses the Subversion log to generate the [[RecentChanges]] page.
