2 I'm looking at ikiwiki both for my personal site but also as a
3 team-documentation management system for a small-sized group of UNIX
6 * my edits should appear either as 'Jon' (if I've used
7 [[tips/untrusted_git_push]]); 'jmtd.net', 'jmtd.livejournal.com',
8 or once upon a time 'alcopop.org/me/openid/' or 'jondowland'.
9 * My [homepage](http://jmtd.net/) is powered by ikiwiki
11 I gave a talk at the [UK UNIX User's Group](http://www.ukuug.org/) annual
12 [Linux conference](http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2008/) in 2008 about

29 * [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]
30 * [[todo/CSS classes for links]]
32 The following I have been looking at, but are on the back-burner:
34 * an alternative approach to [[plugins/comments]] (see
35 [[todo/more flexible inline postform]] for one piece of the puzzle;
36 <http://dev.jmtd.net/comments/> for some investigation into making the post
37 form more integrated); possibly also [[todo/pagespec to disable ikiwiki directives]]
38 * a system for [[forum/managing_todo_lists]] (see also
39 [[todo/interactive todo lists]] and <http://dev.jmtd.net/outliner/> for the
