… To put it short: an Ikiwiki newbie.
-I run an Ikiwiki instance at <http://gray.siamics.net/~ivan/lhc/>
-(though the DNS servers may be flacky due to transition to Dyn Inc.)
+[Emacs]: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
+[Lynx]: http://lynx.isc.org/
+
+## Wikis
+
+Currently, I run a couple of Ikiwiki instances. Namely:
+
+* <http://lhc.am-1.org/lhc/>
+ — to hold random stuff written by me, my colleagues,
+ students, etc.
+
+* <http://rsdesne.am-1.org/rsdesne-2010/>
+ — for some of the materials related to the
+ “Remote Sensing in Education, Science and National
+ Economy” (2010-03-29 … 2010-04-10, Altai State
+ University) program I've recently participated in as
+ an instructor.
+
+## Preferences
+
+I prefer to use [Lynx][] along with [Emacs][] (via
+`emacsclient`) to work with the wikis. (Note the “Local
+variables” section below.)
+
+The things I dislike in the wiki engines are:
+
+* the use of home-brew specialized version control systems
+ — while there're a lot of much more developed general
+ purpose ones;
+
+* oversimplified syntax
+ — which (to some extent) precludes more sophisticated
+ forms of automated processing; in particular, this forces one
+ to reformat the material, once complete, to, say, prepare a
+ book, or an article, or slides.
+
+Out of all the wiki engines I'm familiar with, only Ikiwiki is
+free of the first of these. I hope that it will support more
+elaborate syntaxes eventually.
