-How about adding ACL? So that you can control which users are allowed to read, write certain pages. The moinmoin wiki has that, and it is something, that I think is very valuable.

+# OpenID

+I just figured I'd edit something on the page with my OpenID, since you've implemented it! --*[Kyle](http://kitenet.net/~kyle/)*=

-It would be interesting to have a `<TMPL_VAR BASEURL>` that would act exactly like the current `STYLEURL`, but without adding 'style.css' (`STYLEURL` could be defined in terms of `BASEURL`). This way it would be possible to have more flexible templates allowing multiple stylesheets, shortcut icons (and other images), etc.

+Some questions about the RecentChanges function. -- Ethan
+
+> (Moved to [[todo/recentchanges]] --[[Joey]])
+
+----
+
+Also, I'd like to request another template parameter which is just
+$config{url}. That way you won't have to hard-code the URL of the wiki into
+the template. -- Ethan
+
+> That's already available in the BASEURL parameter. --[[Joey]]

+
+# Canonical feed location?
+
+Any way to use `inline` but point the feed links to a different feed on the
+same site?  I have news in news/*, a news archive in news.mdwn, and the
+first few news items on index.mdwn, but I don't really want two separate
+feeds, one with all news and one with the latest few articles; I'd rather
+point the RSS feed links of both to the same feed.  (Which one, the one
+with all news or the one with the latest news only, I don't know yet.)

 
 

-               return "$config{url}/" if ! defined $page;
-               
-               $page=~s/[^\/]+$//;
-               $page=~s/[^\/]+\//..\//g;
-               return $page;
-       } #}}}
+> Not currently. It could be implemented, or you could just turn off the
+> rss feed for the index page, and manually put in a wikilink to the news
+> page and rss feed. --[[Joey]]
