1 Seems like there should be a page for you to post your thoughts about
2 ikiwiki, both pro and con, anything that didn't work, ideas, or whatever.
5 Note that for more formal bug reports or todo items, you can also edit the

9 # Excellent - how do I translate a TWiki site?
11 I just discovered ikiwiki quite by chance, I was looking for a console/terminal
12 menu system and found pdmenu. So pdmenu brought me to here and I've found ikiwiki!
13 It looks as if it's just what I've been wanting for a long time. I wanted something
14 to create mostly text web pages which, as far as possible, have source which is human
15 readable or at least in a standard format. ikiwiki does this twice over by using
16 markdown for the source and producing static HTML from it.
18 I'm currently using TWiki and have a fair number of pages in that format, does
19 anyone have any bright ideas for translating? I can knock up awk scripts fairly
20 easily, perl is possible (but I'm not strong in perl).
26 I just figured I'd edit something on the page with my OpenID, since you've implemented it! --*[Kyle](http://kitenet.net/~kyle/)*=
28 > Kyle, If you like openid, I can switch your personal wiki over to use your openid. --[[Joey]]
34 How about adding ACL? So that you can control which users are allowed
35 to read, write certain pages. The moinmoin wiki has that, and it is
36 something, that I think is very valuable.

59 Some questions about the RecentChanges function. -- Ethan
61 > (Moved to [[todo/recentchanges]] --[[Joey]])
65 Also, I'd like to request another template parameter which is just
66 $config{url}. That way you won't have to hard-code the URL of the wiki into
67 the template. -- Ethan
69 > That's already available in the BASEURL parameter. --[[Joey]]
73 # Canonical feed location?
75 Any way to use `inline` but point the feed links to a different feed on the
76 same site? I have news in news/*, a news archive in news.mdwn, and the
77 first few news items on index.mdwn, but I don't really want two separate
78 feeds, one with all news and one with the latest few articles; I'd rather
79 point the RSS feed links of both to the same feed. (Which one, the one
80 with all news or the one with the latest news only, I don't know yet.)
82 > Not currently. It could be implemented, or you could just turn off the

84 > page and rss feed. --[[Joey]]
86 >> That wouldn't use the same style for the RSS and Atom links, and it
