+I'm trying to install from scratch on a CentOS 4.6 system. I installed perl 5.8.8 from source and then added all the required modules via CPAN. When I build ikiwiki from the tarball, I get this message:
+
+ rendering todo/calendar_--_archive_browsing_via_a_calendar_frontend.mdwn
+ *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (!prev): 0x0922e478 ***
+ make: *** [extra_build] Aborted
+
+I'm kind of at a loss how to track this down or work around it. Any suggestions? --Monty

# Installation of selected docs (html)
perl dependencies installed because that's well documented in the perl world,
but I don't know how to tell ikiwiki to install somewhere other than / --BrianWilson

-# Access Keys
-
-Would anyone else find this a valuable addition. In oddmuse and instiki (the only other
-wiki engines I am currently using, the edit, home, and submit link tags have an
-accesskey attribute. I find it nice not to have to resort to the mouse for those
-actions. However, it may not be something everyone appreciates. Any thoughts?
---[Mazirian](http://mazirian.com)

-> Maybe, although it would need to take the critisism at
-> <http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/forms/accesskey.html> into account.

# Editing the style sheet.
It would be nice to be able to edit the stylesheet by means of the cgi. Or is this possible? I wasn't able to achieve it.

-# User database tools?
-
-Any tool to view user database?
-
-Any tool to edit the user database?
-
-> No, but it's fairly easy to write such tools in perl. For example, to
-> list all users in the user database:
-
- joey@kodama:~/src/joeywiki/.ikiwiki>perl -le 'use Storable; my $userinfo=Storable::retrieve("userdb"); print $_ foreach keys %$userinfo'
- http://joey.kitenet.net/
- foo
-
-> To list each user's email address:
-
- joey@kodama:~/src/joeywiki/.ikiwiki>perl -le 'use Storable; my $userinfo=Storable::retrieve("userdb"); print $userinfo->{$_}->{email} foreach keys %$userinfo'
-
- joey@kitenet.net
-
-> Editing is simply a matter of changing values and calling Storable::store().
-> I've not written actual utilities to do this yet because I've only needed
-> to do it rarely, and the data I've wanted has been different each time.
-> --[[Joey]]
-
->> Thanks for these examples -- I have been using them. I don't know the
->> Storable yet. Can someone share an example of removing a user? (I now
->> setup account\_creation\_password and I have some spammer with different

-
->>> Let's see, you could do something like this:
->>> perl -le 'use Storable; my $userinfo=Storable::retrieve("userdb"); delete $$userinfo{"joey"}; Storable::lock_store($userinfo, "userdb")'
->>> I suppose I should stop being lame and create a command line tool wrapping up these operations.. --[[Joey]]

+# Upgrade steps from RecentChanges CGI to static page?
+
+Where are the upgrade steps for RecentChanges change from CGI to static feed?
+I run multiple ikiwiki-powered sites on multiple servers, but today I just upgraded one to 2.32.3.
+Please have a look at
+<http://bsdwiki.reedmedia.net/wiki/recentchanges.html>
+Any suggestions?
+
+> There are no upgrade steps required. It does look like you need to enable
+> the meta plugin to get a good recentchanges page though.. --[[Joey]]
+
+# News site where articles are submitted and then reviewed before posting?
+
+I am considering moving a news site to Ikiwiki. I am hoping that Ikiwiki has a feature where anonymous posters can submit a form that moderators can review and then accept for it to be posted on a news webpage (like front page of the website).
+
+> Well, you can have one blog that contains unreviewed articles, and
+> moderators can then add a tag that makes the article show up in the main
+> news feed. There's nothing stopping someone submitting an article
+> pre-tagged though. If you absolutely need to lock that down, you could
+> have one blog with unreviewed articles in one subdirectory, and reviewers
+> then move the file over to another subdirectory when they're ready to
+> publish it. (This second subdirectory would be locked to prevent others
+> from writing to it.) --[[Joey]]
+
+Also it would be good if the news page would keep maybe just the latest 10 entries with links to an archive that make it easy to browse to old entries by date. (Could have over a thousand news articles.)
+
+> The inline plugin allows setting up things like this.
+
+Plus users be able to post feedback to news items. If anonymous, they must be approved first. I'd prefer to not use normal "wiki" editor for feedback.
+
+Any thoughts or examples on this? Any links to examples of news sites or blogs with outside feedback using ikiwiki?
+
+Thanks --[[JeremyReed]]
