-To use ikiwiki to set up a wiki, you will probably want to use it with a
-revision control system, such as [[Subversion]], for keeping track of past
-versions of pages. ikiwiki can run as a Subversion [[post-commit]] hook, so
-that each committed change to your wiki is immediatly compiled and
-published.
+* [[News]] is a blog (built using ikiwiki) of news items about ikiwiki.
+  It's the best way to find out when there's a new version to [[Download]].

-[[Subversion]] also offers a way to let others edit pages on your wiki.
-Just configure subversion to let appropriate users (or everyone) commit to
