-Duplicate %links ?
-------------------
+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.
 
-I notice code in the scan hook that seems to assume
-that %links will accumulate duplicate links for a page.
-That used to be so, but the bug was fixed. Does this mean
-that po might be replacing the only link on a page, in error? 
+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.

-Bug when editing underlay file
+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
 ------------------------------
 
-While I've gotten translated underlays working, there is a bug
-if the wiki is currently using a page from the underlay, and the master
-language version is edited. This causes the edited page to be saved
-to srcdir.. and all the translations get set to 0% and their
-po files have the translated strings "emptied". What's really going on
-is that these are entirely new po files not based on the old ones
-in the basewiki, and thus lacking translations. --[[Joey]] 
+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.
