 Suggestions of ideas for plugins:
 
-* list of registered users
-* a [[todo/link_map]]
-* [[todo/sigs]] ?
-* [[pageindexes]]
-* Wiki stats, such as total number of links, most linked to pages
-* Support [[RecentChanges]] as a regular page containing a plugin that updates each time there is a change, and statically builds the recent changes list. (Would this be too expensive/inflexible? There might be other ways to do it as a plugin, like making all links to RecentChanges link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.)
-* Support for smileys or other symbols. I appreciate the support for check
-  marks, etc in other wikis. Needs some free smiley files.
+* list of registered users - tricky because it sorta calls for a way to rebuild the page when a new user is registered. Might be better as a cgi?

+* It would be nice to be able to have a button to show "Differences" (or

 * For PlaceWiki I want to be able to do some custom plugins, including one
   that links together subpages about the same place created by different
   users. This seems to call for a plugin that applies to every page w/o any

-6 different types of plugins:
+All the kinds of plugins that blogging software has is also a possibility:
 
-* *actions* are possibly out of scope for ikiwiki, this is probably what it uses for cgi script type stuff. Unless ikiwiki wants to allow pluggable CGI script stuff, it doesn't need these.
-* *parsers* and *formatters* are basically what I've been calling [[PluggableRenderers]]. MoinMoin separates these, so that a page is parsed to (presumbly) some intermediate form before being output as html or some other form. That's a nice separation, but what to do about things like markdown that are both a parser and a formatter?
-* *macros* and *processors* are analagous to preprocessor directives. A processor can operate on a large block of text though.
-* *themes* should be irrellevant (ikiwiki has [[templates]]).
+* How about an event calendar. Events could be sub-pages with an embedded 
+  code to detail recurrance and/or event date/time
