+## intro
+
I'm looking at ikiwiki both for my personal site but also as a
team-documentation management system for a small-sized group of UNIX
sysadmins.
* my edits should appear either as 'Jon' (if I've used
- [[tips/untrusted_git_push]]) or 'jmtd.net' (or once upon a time
- 'alcopop.org/me/openid/' or 'jondowland').
+ [[tips/untrusted_git_push]]); 'jmtd.net', 'jmtd.livejournal.com',
+ 'jmtd' if I've forgotten to set my local git config properly,
+ or once upon a time 'alcopop.org/me/openid/' or 'jondowland'.
* My [homepage](http://jmtd.net/) is powered by ikiwiki
I gave a talk at the [UK UNIX User's Group](http://www.ukuug.org/) annual
-[Linux conference](http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2008/) about organising
-system administrator documentation. Roughly a third of this talk was
-discussing IkiWiki in some technical detail and suggesting it as a good piece
-of software for this task.

-I am also working on some ikiwiki hacks: an alternative approach to
-[[plugins/comments]]; a system for [[forum/managing_todo_lists]].
+I am also working on some ikiwiki hacks:
+
+* [[todo/allow site-wide meta definitions]]
+* Improving the means by which you can migrate from mediawiki to
+ IkiWiki. See [[tips/convert mediawiki to ikiwiki]] and the
+ [[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] plugin.
+
+I am mostly interested in ikiwiki usability issues:
+
+ * [[bugs/the login page is unclear when multiple methods exist]]
+ * [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]
+ * [[todo/CSS classes for links]]
+ * [[todo/adjust commit message for rename, remove]]
+
+The following I have been looking at, but are on the back-burner:
+
+* an alternative approach to [[plugins/comments]] (see
+ [[todo/more flexible inline postform]] for one piece of the puzzle;
+ for some investigation into making the post
+ form more integrated); possibly also [[todo/pagespec to disable ikiwiki directives]]
+* a system for [[forum/managing_todo_lists]] (see also
+ [[todo/interactive todo lists]] and for the
+ current WIP).
+* a `tag2` plugin, which does the same thing as [[plugins/tag]], but
+ does not sit on top of [[ikiwiki/wikilink]]s, so does not result in
+ bugs such as [[bugs/tagged() matching wikilinks]]. Code for this lives
+ in my github `tag2` branch:
+
+Penultimately, the following are merely half-formed thoughts:
+
+ * adding and removing tags to pages via the edit form by ticking and
+ unticking checkboxes next to a tag name (rather than entering the
+ directive into the text of the page directly)
+ * perhaps the same for meta
+ * I'd like to make profiling ikiwiki in action very easy for newcomers.
+ Perhaps even a plugin that created a file /profile or similar on build.

+Finally, backlinks (since I have issues with the current backlinks
+implementation, see [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]):
