+Unfortunately, ikiwiki [[doesn't follow symlinks for security
+reasons|security]] - if it did, anyone who can commit to the wiki
+repository could publish any file readable by the user who runs ikiwiki,
+including secrets like `~/.gnupg/secring.gpg` or
+`~/.ssh/identity`.
+
+git-annex relies on symlinks, so that restriction breaks it.
+It would be great to be able to use some restricted, safe subset
+of symlinks (\"relative symlinks that point into `.git/annex`\" would
+be enough to support git-annex), and I've looked into it in the past.
+My [[plugins/contrib/album]] plugin would benefit from being able
+to annex the actual photos, for instance.

+git-annex is gaining a new \"direct\" mode where it does not use symlinks. It remains to be seen if enough git operations will be supported in that mode to make it attractive to use.

+On [[the po plugin's page|plugins/po]] it is clearly stated that "when the plugin has just been enabled, or when a page has just been declared as being translatable, the needed POT and PO files are created". Yet on all my attempts, only the pot file was created. Do I have to create the po files manually somehow?
+
+To be precise, these are the settings I put in my wiki's setup file to enable the po plugin:
+
+ add_plugins => [qw{... po ...}],
+ po_master_language => 'de|Deutsch',
+ po_slave_languages => 'en|English',
+ po_translatable_pages => "mytranslatedpage",
+ po_link_to => 'current',
+
+… followed by "ikiwiki --setup mysetupfile".
