-ikiwiki is a wiki compiler. It converts a directory full of wiki pages

+ikiwiki is a **wiki compiler**. It converts wiki pages
+into HTML pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike many
+wikis, ikiwiki does not have its own ad-hoc means of storing page history,
+and instead uses a revision control system such as [[Subversion]].
 
-To use ikiwiki to set up a wiki, you will probably want to use it with a
-revision control system, such as [[Subversion]], for keeping track of past
-versions of pages. ikiwiki can run as a Subversion [[post-commit]] hook, so
-that each committed change to your wiki is immediatly compiled and
-published.
+* [[News]] is a blog (built using ikiwiki) of news items about ikiwiki.
+  It's the best way to find out when there's a new version to [[Download]].
 
-See [[Features]] for a current list of ikiwiki's features. [[WhyIkiWiki]]
-might be useful if you're considering using this.
+* Ikiwiki has a nice set of wiki [[features]] which can be expanded by
+  a large array of [[plugins]].
 
-[[Setup]] has a tutorial for setting up ikiwki.

+If you use ikiwiki, please list your wiki in [[IkiWikiUsers]].
+Thanks! --[[Joey]]

-[[TODO]] lists things that need to be added to ikiwiki before most people
-would consider it a full-fledged wiki.
+* [[Setup]] has a tutorial for setting up ikiwiki, and [[Usage]] documents
+  the parameters and usage of the ikiwiki program. There are some
+  [[examples]] of things you can do with ikiwiki.
 
-All wikis are supposed to have a [[SandBox]], so this one does to.
+* This wiki is used for tracking ikiwiki's [[TODO]] items, [[bugs]],
