 Suggestions of ideas for plugins:
 
 * list of registered users - tricky because it sorta calls for a way to rebuild the page when a new user is registered. Might be better as a cgi?

-* Support [[RecentChanges]] as a regular page containing a plugin that
-  updates each time there is a change, and statically builds the recent
-  changes list. (Would this be too expensive/inflexible? There might be
-  other ways to do it as a plugin, like making all links to RecentChanges
-  link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.) 
-
-  Or using an iframe
-  to inline the cgi, although firefox seems to render that nastily with
-  nested scroll bars. :-(
+* It would be nice to be able to have a button to show "Differences" (or 
+  "Show Diff") when editing a page. Is that an option that can be enabled?

 * For PlaceWiki I want to be able to do some custom plugins, including one
   that links together subpages about the same place created by different

-All the kinds of plugins that blogging software has is also a possibility:

+* I wrote a very crude wrapper around tex4ht to render TeX files.  I hesitate to give it a contrib/plugins page in its current state, but if someone wants to play, [here](http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner/wiki/software/ikiwiki/tex4ht.pm) it is.--[[DavidBremner]]

+* Setting default values for the meta plugin in the setup file, particularly author, license, and copyright, would be useful
