-* Improved [[todo/html]] stylesheets and templates.
-  _(status: [[css_market]] exists; it could always provide more stylesheets.  No alternate templates yet, though.)_
-* More documentation in the basewiki, including documentation for all enabled plugins.  Probably need some solution for [[todo/conditional_underlay_files]], too.

 * Conversion support for existing other wikis.

   and Jamey Sharp; support for other wikis should fit into the same
   framework.)
