-Ikiwiki is a wiki compiler. It converts a directory full of wiki pages
-into html pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike a traditional
-wiki, ikiwiki does not have its own means of storing page history, its own
-markup language, or support for editing pages online.
-
-Why call it IkiWiki? Well, partly because I'm sure some people will find
-this a pretty Iky Wiki, since it's so different from other Wikis. Partly
-because "ikiwiki" is a nice palindrome. Partly because its design turns
-the usual design for a Wiki inside-out and backwards.
-
-To use ikiwiki to set up a wiki, you will probably want to use it with a
-revision control system, such as [[Subversion]], for keeping track of past
-versions of pages. ikiwiki can run as a Subversion [[post-commit]] hook, so
-that each committed change to your wiki is immediatly compiled and
-published. (It can also be run by hand, by cron, or integrated with any
-other revision control system.)
-
-[[Subversion]] also offers a way to let others edit pages on your wiki.
-Just configure subversion to let appropriate users (or everyone) commit to
-the wiki's repository. There are some things you should keep in mind about
-[[Security]] when allowing the world to edit your ikiwiki.
-
-ikiwiki supports pages using [[MarkDown]] as their markup language. Any
-page with a filename ending in ".mdwn" is converted from markdown to html
-by ikiwiki. Markdown understands text formatted as it would be in an email,
-and is quite smart about converting it to html. The only additional markup
-provided by ikiwiki aside from regular markdown is the [[WikiLink]].
-
-ikiwiki also supports files of any other type, including raw html, text,
-images, etc. These are not converted to wiki pages, they are just copied
-unchanged by ikiwiki as it builds your wiki. So you can check in an image,
-program, or other special file and link to it from your wiki pages.
-ikiwiki also supports making one page that is a [[SubPage]] of another.
-
-[[Setup]] has a tutorial for setting up ikiwki.
-
-[[TODO]] lists things that need to be added to ikiwiki before most people
-would consider it a full-fledged wiki.
-
-All wikis are supposed to have a [[SandBox]], so this one does to.
-
-ikiwiki is developed by [[Joey]].

+ It's the best way to find out when there's a new version to [[Download]].
+
+* Ikiwiki has a nice set of wiki [[features]] which can be expanded by
+ a large array of [[plugins]]. It also has some [[bugs]], a [[TODO]] list,
+ and a [[RoadMap]].
