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?
-* [[sigs]] ?
-
-* Support [[RecentChanges]] as a regular page containing a plugin that
- updates each time there is a change, and statically builds the recent
- changes list. (Would this be too expensive/inflexible? There might be
- other ways to do it as a plugin, like making all links to RecentChanges
- link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.)
-
- Or using an iframe
- to inline the cgi, although firefox seems to render that nastily with
- nested scroll bars. :-(

* It would be nice to be able to have a button to show "Differences" (or
"Show Diff") when editing a page. Is that an option that can be enabled?
or something. It's possible that this is a special case of backlinks and
is best implemented by making backlinks a plugin somehow. --[[Joey]]
-* interwiki links
-
* random page (cgi plugin; how to link to it easily?)
-All the kinds of plugins that blogging software has is also a possibility:
-
* 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
+
+ Should be quite easy to write, the otl plugin is a good example of a
+ similar formatter.

+
+* manpage plugin: convert **"ls(1)"** style content into Markdown like **\[ls(1)\]\(http://example.org/man.cgi?name=ls§=1\)** or into HTML directly.
+
+> With a full installation of groff available, man offers HTML output. Might

+
+* As I couldn't find another place to ask, I'll try here. I would like to install some contributed plugins, but can not find anywhere to downlod them.
+
+ > Not sure what you mean, the [[plugins/contrib]] page lists contributed plugins, and each of their pages tells where to download the plugin from.. --[[Joey]]
+
+* I'm thinking about starting a simple LaTeX plugin. This would be mainly to convert my old tex4ht based website. Would anyone else find this useful,
+or should I just hack some offline converter together? I should clarify that I mean converting the latex text to HTML (maybe via something else). I found pandoc, which almost works to convert to .rst. Perhaps the most useful thing would be an offline filter to convert latex to markdown+embedded teximg --[[DavidBremner]]
