+  * I don't quite get what you want to do with the underlay directory, it sounds like 
+    you have something pretty specific in mind. I can talk to you about that more
+    on IRC later(assuming my internet is working right).
+    * Basically the idea is to change `$config{underlaydir}` to an array..
+      Ok, take a look at the new `add_underlay()` function. You can now just
+      `add_underlay("wikiwyg")` and it'll look in
+      /usr/share/ikiwiki/wikiwyg/ for the files.

-* I wish there were a good way to move the code to handle saving a part of

+  * The WIKIWYG variable in misc.tmpl is used for the edit page. I believe that is what
+    you wanted me to do (Check Revision 3840).
+    * Ah, right.
+* Could you move the code that handles saving a page of the page into the
+  plugin? I just added an editcontent hook, which should allow you to do
+  that.
+  * Alright, np.

 * Your patch exports run_hooks, but I don't see the plugin using that.

+  * Yeah, that was from an earlier revision of my plugin, I just forgot to remove that.

 * I don't know about exporting pagetitle. So far, only the inline plugin
   needs to use that function, I generally only export things after it's
   clear a lot of plugins will need them.

+  * Just looked through the inline plugin. So if I want to use pagetitle in my code,
+    I have to use the IkiWiki package instead of IkiWiki::Plugin::Wikiwyg? Or would a 
+    better approach be to just copy that function into the Wikiwyg plugin?

 * Would it be possible to provide a diff between wikiwyg upstream and any
   modifications you made to its files? I'm not sure which version you used,
   so I'm seeing changes in diffing that I'm unsure if you made..

+  * The files *are* modified, but I doubt it will make a difference. There have
+    been no updates to Wikiwyg since 5/30/07 so I'm pretty sure it's unmaintained
+    now. Showdown is the same case, they haven't changed anything since SoC began.
+    I could separate them diff's though if you feel it is worth it.
+    * Well, from a packaging perspective, the question is whether some
+      other package might want to use the wikiwyg/showdown javascript
+      files. And whether your mods might break that. If the answers to
+      these questions are yes and no, then it would make sense to package
+      them as standalone packages rather than embedding them in ikiwiki.

+  * That is an option, however I was trying to avoid that due to bandwidth, cpu time

+    * It just seems like it would never be able to support everything,

 Everything else looks fine and ready for merging. If, that is, you think
 I should include the plugin with all of its java code in ikiwiki. Thoughts?
