-Better links
-------------
-
-Once the fix to
-[[bugs/pagetitle_function_does_not_respect_meta_titles]] from
-[[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch is merged into ikiwiki upstream, the
-generated links' text will be optionally based on the page titles set
-with the [[meta|plugins/meta]] plugin, and will thus be translatable.
-It will also allow displaying the translation status in links to slave
-pages. Both were implemented, and reverted in commit
-ea753782b222bf4ba2fb4683b6363afdd9055b64, which should be reverted
-once [[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch is merged.
-
-An integration branch, called `meta-po`, merges [[intrigeri]]'s `po`
-and `meta` branches, and thus has thise additional features.

-Language display order
-----------------------
-
-Jonas pointed out that one might want to control the order that links to
-other languages are listed, for various reasons. Currently, there is no
-order, as `po_slave_languages` is a hash. It would need to be converted
-to an array to support this. (If twere done, twere best done quickly.)

-po files in underlay
---------------------
-
-I think this plugin doesn't yet allow po files to be present in an
-underlay to translate files also from the underlay.
-
-In `istranslatablefile`, it specifically checks that
-the file is present in srcdir. 
-
-Problem with this is that it precludes using po to translate
-the basewiki (work which is well under way for Danish BTW),
-since the translated po files cannot really be used.
-
-A further problem comes if one wants to use a non-English language as the
-`po_master_language`. It would be good to get a translated
-basewiki, taking po files from the underlay and using them as the primary
-page sources, but this plugin doesn't yet support that. 
-
-And, maybe it shouldn't? A user would not expect to see a po file when
-editing the index page of their wiki, just because they're using a
-different language. Instead, we might want to build localized .mdwn files
-for the basewiki, and then ikiwiki would just use that translated underlay.
-The when the user edits index, they get a nice mdwn file to start from.
-
-So, we seem to have two cases, in one po files from the underlay should be
-used, in the other not. Hmm. Support both?
-
-> Update -- I've written po2wiki, which can spit out translated underlays
-> in markdown format, and made the po plugin enable use of such underlays
-> when the master language is not `en`.

-Duplicate %links ?
-------------------
-
-I notice code in the scan hook that seems to assume
-that %links will accumulate duplicate links for a page.
-That used to be so, but the bug was fixed. Does this mean
-that po might be replacing the only link on a page, in error?

-Documentation

-Maybe write separate documentation depending on the people it targets:
-translators, wiki administrators, hackers. This plugin may be complex
-enough to deserve this.
