+[[WhyIkiWiki]]?

 Currently implemented:
 
 * [[Subversion]]
 
   Rather than implement its own system for storing page histories etc, ikiwiki      simply uses subversion. (Supporting other revision control systems is also possible, ikiwiki only needs $FOO add, $FOO commit, and $FOO log).
 
-  Instead of editing pages in a stupid web form, you can use vim and commit changes via svn. Or work disconnected using svk and push your changes out when you come online.

- ikiwiki can be run from a [[post-commit]] hook to update your wiki immediatly whenever you commit.

+  ikiwiki is fast and smart about updating a wiki, it only builds pages that have changed (and tracks things like creation of new pages and links that can indirectly cause a page to need a rebuild)
 
-----
+* [[Templates]]
+
+  ikiwiki generates html using templates so you can change the look and 
+  layout of all pages in any way you would like.
+
+* [[BackLinks]]
+
+  Automatically included on pages. Rather faster than eg [[MoinMoin]] and always there to help with navigation.
+
+* [[PageHistory]]
+
+  Well, sorta. Rather than implementing YA history browser, it can link to
+  [[ViewCVS]] or the link to browse the history of a wiki page.

+
+* User registration
+
+  Can optionally be configured to allow only registered users to post
+  pages; online user registration form, etc.
+
+* Discussion pages
+
+  Thanks to subpages, every page can easily and automatically have a
+  /Discussion subpage. By default, these links are included in the
+  [[templates]] for each page.
