+It will also allow displaying the translation status in links to slave

+If a page contains a WikiLink to itself, ikiwiki does not normally
+turn that into a hyperlink. However, if a translated page contains a
+WikiLink to itself, a hyperlink is inserted, at least with the default
+`po_link_to` the link points to the English version of the page. Is there a
+good reason for that to be done? --[[Joey]] 
+
+Language display order
+----------------------
+
+Jonas pointed out that one might want to control the order that links to
+other languages are listed, for various reasons. Currently, there is no
+order, as `po_slave_languages` is a hash. It would need to be converted
+to an array to support this. (If twere done, twere best done quickly.)
+--[[Joey]] 
+
+Duplicate %links ?
+------------------
+
+I notice code in the scan hook that seems to assume
+that %links will accumulate duplicate links for a page.
+That used to be so, but the bug was fixed. Does this mean
+that po might be replacing the only link on a page, in error? 
+--[[Joey]] 
+
+Bug when editing underlay file
+------------------------------
+
+While I've gotten translated underlays working, there is a bug
+if the wiki is currently using a page from the underlay, and the master
+language version is edited. This causes the edited page to be saved
+to srcdir.. and all the translations get set to 0% and their
+po files have the translated strings "emptied". What's really going on
+is that these are entirely new po files not based on the old ones
+in the basewiki, and thus lacking translations. --[[Joey]]
