+  A few details:

-this wiki too. Can markdown generate a man page somehow?
+     Joey points out that this is actually a security hole, because Perl
+     regexes let you embed (arbitrary?) Perl expressions inside them.  Yuck!
+
+     It would also be good to be able to subscribe to all pages except discussion pages or the SandBox: `* !*/discussion !sandobx`, maybe --[[Joey]]

+  3. Of course if you do that, you want to have form processing on the user

+
+     I think that the new globlist() function should do everything you need.

+  The first cut, I suppose, could use one sendmail process to batch-mail all
+  subscribers for a given page.  However, in the long run, I can see users
+  demanding a bit of feature creep:
+
+  4. Each user should be able to tune whether they see the actual diff parts or
+     not.
+  5. Each user should be able to set a maximum desired email size.
+  6. We might want to support a user-specified shibboleth string that will be
+     included in the email they receive so they can easily procmail the messages
+     into a folder.

 Possibly add "next 100" link to it, but OTOH, you can just use svn log if
 you need that data..

+## page indexes
+
+Might be nice to support automatically generating an index based on headers in a page, for long pages. The question is, how to turn on such an index?
+
+## basewiki underlay
+
+Rather than copy the basewii around everywhere, it should be configured to
+underlay the main srcdir, and pages be rendered from there if not in the
+srcdir. This would allow upgrades to add/edit pages in the basewiki.
+
+Impementaion will be slightly tricky since currently ikiwiki is hardcoded
+in many places to look in srcdir for pages.

+## Logo
+
+ikiwiki needs a logo. I'm thinking something simple like the word "ikiwiki" with the first "k" backwards; drawn to show that it's "wiki" reflected.
