1 Why call it ikiwiki? Well, partly because I'm sure some people will find
2 this a pretty Iky Wiki, since it's so different from other Wikis. Partly
3 because "ikiwiki" is a nice palindrome. Partly because its design turns
4 the usual design for a Wiki inside-out and backwards.
6 (BTW, I'm told that "iki" is Finnish for "forever" so ikiwiki is "forever wiki".)
8 Oh, maybe you wanted to know why you'd want to choose ikiwiki instead of all the other wikis out there? Unless your personal strangeness significantly aligns with [[Joey]]'s, so that keeping everything in subversion, compiling websites to static html, and like design [[features]] appeal to you, you probably won't.
10 Hmm, the above paragraph is less true today than it was when I wrote it.
