-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 this 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.)
---[[Joey]] 
-
-Pagespecs
----------
-
-I was suprised that, when using the map directive, a pagespec of "*"
-listed all the translated pages as well as regular pages. That can 
-make a big difference to an existing wiki when po is turned on,
-and seems generally not wanted.
-(OTOH, you do want to match translated pages by
-default when locking pages.) --[[Joey]]
-
-Edit links on untranslated pages
---------------------------------
-
-If a page is not translated yet, the "translated" version of it
-displays wikilinks to other, existing (but not yet translated?)
-pages as edit links, as if those pages do not exist. 
-
-That's really confusing, especially as clicking such a link
-brings up an edit form to create a new, english page.
-
-This is with po_link_to=current or negotiated. With default, it doesn't
-happen.. 
-
-Also, this may only happen if the page being linked to is coming from an
-underlay, and the underlays lack translation to a given language.

-Double commits of po files
---------------------------
-
-When adding a new english page, the po files are created, committed,
-and then committed again. The second commit makes this change:
-
-       -"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8\n"
-       -"Content-Transfer-Encoding: ENCODING"
-       +"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n"
-       +"Content-Transfer-Encoding: ENCODING\n"
-
-Same thing happens when a change to an existing page triggers a po file
-update. --[[Joey]] 
-
-Ugly messages with empty files
-------------------------------
-
-If there are empty .mdwn files, the po plugin displays some ugly messages.
-
-Translation of directives
--------------------------
-
-If a translated page contains a directive, it may expand to some english
-text, or text in whatever single language ikiwiki is configured to "speak".
-
-Maybe there could be a way to switch ikiwiki to speaking another language
-when building a non-english page? Then the directives would get translated.
-
-2 test suite failures
---------------------
-
-t/po is currently failing tests 57 and 59 (and I would like to release
-soon..) --[[Joey]] 
-
-> They are failing because of commit cdc3576c8d1e (po: do not inject
-> custom bestlink function when `po_link_to` eq `default`). The test
-> suite changes `$config{po_link_to}`, but the `checkconfig` hook is
-> not re-run. I could manually run it when needed in the test-suite,
-> but this would lead to this function being injected several times,
-> and then `$origsubs{'bestlink'}` to be sometimes set to a wrong
-> value, which would break other parts of the test-suite. The best
-> solution I can think of (apart of reverting this commit or disabling
-> these two tests) is to split the test-suite into 3 parts, depending
-> on the `$config{po_link_to}` setting, either in 3 different `.t`
-> files, or inside the existing one and completely reset the IkiWiki
-> environment at the start of these parts... which I did not manage to
-> achieve in the last 2 hours :/ --[[intrigeri]]
