 This plugin allows ikiwiki to publish a wiki in the [Amazon Simple Storage
 Service](http://aws.amazon.com/s3) (S3). As pages are rendered, ikiwiki
 will upload them to Amazon S3. The entire wiki contents, aside from the
 ikiwiki CGI, can then be served directly out of Amazon S3.

-Important note: You should seriously consider turning off `usedirs` before
-enabling this plugin. If `usedirs` is enabled, every page has to be stored
-in S3 *twice*, as "page/index.html" and as "page/". That will cost you
-money and bandwidth.

+  "index.html" in their names to work, you can enable this option. Then

 Note that you should still set `destdir` in the setup file. The files that
 are uploaded to Amazon S3 will still be written to the destdir, too.
