# future goals
-* 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.
(Being worked on for MoinMoin and TWiki by [[Josh_Triplett|JoshTriplett]]
and Jamey Sharp; support for other wikis should fit into the same
framework.)
