 I am also working on some ikiwiki hacks:
 

+* [[todo/allow site-wide meta definitions]]
+* Improving the means by which you can migrate from mediawiki to
+  IkiWiki. See [[tips/convert mediawiki to ikiwiki]] and the
+  [[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] plugin.
+
+I am mostly interested in ikiwiki usability issues:
+
+ * [[bugs/the login page is unclear when multiple methods exist]]
+ * [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]
+ * [[todo/CSS classes for links]]
+ * [[todo/adjust commit message for rename, remove]]
+
+The following I have been looking at, but are on the back-burner:
+

 * an alternative approach to [[plugins/comments]] (see
   [[todo/more flexible inline postform]] for one piece of the puzzle;
   <http://dev.jmtd.net/comments/> for some investigation into making the post

 * a system for [[forum/managing_todo_lists]] (see also
   [[todo/interactive todo lists]] and <http://dev.jmtd.net/outliner/> for the
   current WIP).

+* a `tag2` plugin, which does the same thing as [[plugins/tag]], but
+  does not sit on top of [[ikiwiki/wikilink]]s, so does not result in
+  bugs such as [[bugs/tagged() matching wikilinks]]. Code for this lives
+  in my github `tag2` branch: <http://github.com/jmtd/ikiwiki>

 
 

-I am currently mostly interested in ikiwiki usability issues:
+Penultimately, the following are merely half-formed thoughts:

 
 

- * [[bugs/the login page is unclear when multiple methods exist]]
+ * adding and removing tags to pages via the edit form by ticking and
+   unticking checkboxes next to a tag name (rather than entering the 
+   directive into the text of the page directly)
+ * perhaps the same for meta
+ * I'd like to make profiling ikiwiki in action very easy for newcomers.
+   Perhaps even a plugin that created a file /profile or similar on build.

+## backlinks

+Finally, backlinks (since I have issues with the current backlinks
+implementation, see [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]):
