-* [[sigs]] ?

-* Support [[RecentChanges]] as a regular page containing a plugin that
-  updates each time there is a change, and statically builds the recent
-  changes list. (Would this be too expensive/inflexible? There might be
-  other ways to do it as a plugin, like making all links to RecentChanges
-  link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.) 
-
-  Or using an iframe
-  to inline the cgi, although firefox seems to render that nastily with
-  nested scroll bars. :-(
-> Or just link to the equivalent in the version control system, if available;
-> gitweb's shortlog or summary view would work nicely as a

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

+* I'm thinking about starting a simple LaTeX plugin.  This would be mainly  to convert my old tex4ht based website. Would anyone else find this useful, 
+or should I just hack some offline converter together?  I should clarify that I mean converting the latex text to HTML (maybe via something else).  I found pandoc, which almost works to convert to .rst. Perhaps the most useful thing would be an offline filter to convert latex to markdown+embedded teximg --[[DavidBremner]]
