-## docs
+  A few details:
+  1. [[Joey]] mentioned that being able to subscribe to globs as well as
+     explicitly named pages would be desirable.
+  2. I think that since we're using Perl on the backend, being able to
+     let users craft their own arbitrary regexes would be good.
+
+     Joey points out that this is actually a security hole, because Perl
+     regexes let you embed (arbitrary?) Perl expressions inside them.  Yuck!
+
+     It would also be good to be able to subscribe to all pages except discussion pages or the SandBox: `* !*/discussion !sandobx`, maybe --[[Joey]]
+
+  3. Of course if you do that, you want to have form processing on the user
+     page that lets them tune it, and probably choose literal or glob by
+     default.
+
+     I think that the new globlist() function should do everything you need.
+     Adding a field to the prefs page will be trivial --[[Joey]]
+
+  The first cut, I suppose, could use one sendmail process to batch-mail all
+  subscribers for a given page.  However, in the long run, I can see users
+  demanding a bit of feature creep:

 
 

-Need to turn [[usage]] into a man page.
-this wiki too. Can markdown generate a man page somehow?
+  4. Each user should be able to tune whether they see the actual diff parts or
+     not.
+  5. Each user should be able to set a maximum desired email size.
+  6. We might want to support a user-specified shibboleth string that will be
+     included in the email they receive so they can easily procmail the messages
+     into a folder.

+## page indexes
+
+Might be nice to support automatically generating an index based on headers
+in a page, for long pages. The question is, how to turn on such an index?
+
+## basewiki underlay
+
+Rather than copy the basewiki around everywhere, it should be configured to
+underlay the main srcdir, and pages be rendered from there if not in the
+srcdir. This would allow upgrades to add/edit pages in the basewiki.
+
+Impementaion will be slightly tricky since currently ikiwiki is hardcoded
+in many places to look in srcdir for pages. Also, there are possible
+security attacks in the vein of providing a file ikiwiki would normally
+skip in the srcdir, and tricking it to processing this file instead of the
+one from the underlaydir.
+
+There are also difficulties related to removing files from the srcdir, and
+exposing ones from the underlaydir. Will need to make sure that the mtime
+for the source file is zeroed when the page is removed, and that it then
+finds the underlay file and treats it as newer.
+
+## wikilinks features

+- \[[John|Fred]] is a Wikipedia method for linking to the one page

+## Logo
+
+ikiwiki needs a logo. I'm thinking something simple like the word "ikiwiki"
+with the first "k" backwards; drawn to show that it's "wiki" reflected.
