 Suggestions of ideas for plugins:
 
 * 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?
-* a [[link_map]]
-* [[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

-  link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.)

-  Or using an iframe

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