-ikiwiki is a wiki compiler. It converts a directory full of wiki pages
-into html pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike a traditional
-wiki, ikiwiki does not have its own means of storing page history or its own
-markup language. Instead it uses [[Subversion]] and [[MarkDown]].
-
-* [[News]] is a blog (built using ikiwiki) of news items about ikiwiki.
-
-* See [[Features]] for a current list of ikiwiki's features. [[TODO]] and [[bugs]] might also be of interest.
-
-* [[Setup]] has a tutorial for setting up ikiwki, and [[Usage]] documents the parameters and usage of the ikiwiki program.
-
-* [[Security]] lists potential security problems. ikiwiki is still being developed, and is being written with security as a priority, so don't expect things to stay in this list for long.

-Ikiwiki is _not_ yet formally released, although it's very close to being ready for a release now. If you really have to have it: `svn://svn.kitenet.net/ikiwiki/trunk`
