+Welcome to the ikiwiki documentation wiki.

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.

-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.

-might be useful if you're considering using this.
+* See [[Features]] for a current list of ikiwiki's features. [[TODO]] and [[bugs]] might also be of interest.
-[[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.
+* [[Setup]] has a tutorial for setting up ikiwki, and [[Usage]] documents the parameters and usage of the ikiwiki program.

+* [[Security]] lists potential security problems. ikiwiki is still being developed, and is being written with security as a priority, so don't expect things to stay in this list for long.
-[[TODO]] lists things that need to be added to ikiwiki before most people
-would consider it a full-fledged wiki.
+Ikiwiki is _not_ yet formally released, although it's very close to being ready for a release now. If you really have to have it: `svn://svn.kitenet.net/ikiwiki/trunk`
-All wikis are supposed to have a [[SandBox]], so this one does to.
