 Suggestions of ideas for plugins:
 
 * list of registered users - tricky because it sorta calls for a way to rebuild the page when a new user is registered. Might be better as a cgi?

-All the kinds of plugins that blogging software has is also a possibility:
+* random page (cgi plugin; how to link to it easily?)
+
+* How about an event calendar. Events could be sub-pages with an embedded 
+  code to detail recurrance and/or event date/time

+* rcs plugin ([[JeremyReed]] has one he has been using for over a month with over 850 web commits with 13 users with over ten commits each.)
+
+* asciidoc or txt2tags format plugins

+  similar formatter.

 
 

-* Blog post calendar
-* technocrati pinger
-* Tag stuff?
\ No newline at end of file
+* manpage plugin: convert **"ls(1)"** style content into Markdown like **\[ls(1)\]\(http://example.org/man.cgi?name=ls&sect=1\)** or into HTML directly.
