-## docs
+  A few details:
+  1. [[Joey]] mentioned that being able to subscribe to globs as well as
+     explicitly named pages would be desirable.
+  2. I think that since we're using Perl on the backend, being able to
+     let users craft their own arbitrary regexes would be good.

 
 

-Need to turn [[usage]] into a man page.
-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
+     page that lets them tune it, and probably choose literal or glob by
+     default.
+
+  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.

+## 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?
+
+## page locking
+
+Some wikis will need the abiity to lock a page, or the whole wiki, so that only admins can edit them. Probably using the same globbing as for recentchanges mails to determine what to lock. 
+
+Probably it's ok if locking is only supported for web commits.
+
+## User settings page
+
+A cgi page to allow a user to log out and to edit their prefs, including password, email, and anything we add later (subscriptions, etc).
+
+## 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.
