# Using with CVS?
-Any examples of using ikiwiki with cvs?

-> No, although the existing svn backend could fairly esily be modified into

# Show differences before saving page?
-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?
-
-> It's doable, it could even be done by a [[todo/plugin]], I think.

-# RecentChanges should show path to wiki sub-pages?
-
-The RecentChanges only shows the final file name for the recently changes file,
-for example "discussion". It would be more useful to see "index/discussion"
-or the path to the sub-page. I think this is handled by the htmllink() routine.
-
-> Went ahead and did this, IMHO the display is ok as-is. --[[Joey]]

# Should not create an existing page
This might be a bug, but will discuss it here first.

-# Refreshing RecentChanges page
+# User database tools?
-What do you think about refreshing RecentChanges page (via Meta Refresh Tag)?
-It can be useful for users like me which rather prefer watching the last changes
-in WWW browser tab than subscribing to page. --Pawel
+Any tool to view user database?
-> Depends, if it were done the time period should be made configurable.
-> Unwanted server load due to refeshing could be a problem for some.

+Any tool to edit the user database?
