+Ikiwiki is a **wiki compiler**. It converts wiki pages into HTML pages
+suitable for publishing on a website. Ikiwiki stores pages and history in a
+[[revision_control_system|rcs]] such as [[Subversion|rcs/svn]] or [[rcs/Git]].
+There are many other [[features]], including support for
+[[blogging|blog]] and [[podcasting|podcast]], as well as a large
+array of [[plugins]].
