+ikiwiki is a **wiki compiler**. It converts wiki pages
+into HTML pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike many
+wikis, ikiwiki does not have its own ad-hoc means of storing page history,
+and instead uses a revision control system such as [[Subversion]].
+
+* [[News]] is a blog (built using ikiwiki) of news items about ikiwiki.
+  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]].
