I gave a talk at the [UK UNIX User's Group](http://www.ukuug.org/) annual
-[Linux conference](http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2008/) about organising
-system administrator documentation. Roughly a third of this talk was
-discussing IkiWiki in some technical detail and suggesting it as a good piece
-of software for this task.

I am also working on some ikiwiki hacks:
+* [[todo/allow site-wide meta definitions]]
+* Improving the means by which you can migrate from mediawiki to
+ IkiWiki. See [[tips/convert mediawiki to ikiwiki]] and the
+ [[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] plugin.
+
+I am mostly interested in ikiwiki usability issues:
+
+ * [[bugs/the login page is unclear when multiple methods exist]]
+ * [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]
+ * [[todo/CSS classes for links]]
+
+The following I have been looking at, but are on the back-burner:
+
* an alternative approach to [[plugins/comments]] (see
[[todo/more flexible inline postform]] for one piece of the puzzle;
<http://dev.jmtd.net/comments/> for some investigation into making the post
* a system for [[forum/managing_todo_lists]] (see also
[[todo/interactive todo lists]] and <http://dev.jmtd.net/outliner/> for the
current WIP).
+* a `tag2` plugin, which does the same thing as [[plugins/tag]], but
+ does not sit on top of [[ikiwiki/wikilink]]s, so does not result in
+ bugs such as [[bugs/tagged() matching wikilinks]]. Code for this lives
+ in my github `tag2` branch: <http://github.com/jmtd/ikiwiki>
-I am currently mostly interested in ikiwiki usability issues:
+Finally, the following are merely half-formed thoughts:
- * [[bugs/the login page is unclear when multiple methods exist]]
- * [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]
- * [[todo/CSS classes for links]]
+ * adding and removing tags to pages via the edit form by ticking and
+ unticking checkboxes next to a tag name (rather than entering the
+ directive into the text of the page directly)
+ * perhaps the same for meta
