-This [[SubPage]] is a discussion page for ikiwiki. Feel free to discuss anything about the program here.
+Seems like there should be a page for you to post your thoughts about
+ikiwiki, both pro and con, anything that didn't work, ideas, or whatever.
+Do so here..
+
+Note that for more formal bug reports or todo items, you can also edit the
+[[bugs]] and [[todo]] pages.
+
+# Installation/Setup questions
+
+I have just installed ikiwiki and it works - at least I have the example index.mdwn page
+complied and visible. However I have a few issues/problems:-
+
+* A couple of the 'optional' Perl modules aren't optional, you can't install ikiwiki without them,
+these are HTML::Template and HTML::Scrubber (at least I think it was these two, it's a bit messy
+to go back and find out).
+
+* I don't seem to have got an ikiwiki man page created.
+
+* Running "ikiwiki --setup ikiwiki.setup" doesn't do anything. I have edited ikiwiki.setup to
+my local settings. There are no errors but neither does anything get compiled. An ikiwiki
+command to explicitly do the compile works fine. Am I misunderstanding something here?
+
+* I wish there was a mailing list, much easier for this sort of stuff than this, apart from
+anything else I get to use a decent editor.

+# Excellent - how do I translate a TWiki site?
+
+I just discovered ikiwiki quite by chance, I was looking for a console/terminal
+menu system and found pdmenu. So pdmenu brought me to here and I've found ikiwiki!
+It looks as if it's just what I've been wanting for a long time. I wanted something
+to create mostly text web pages which, as far as possible, have source which is human
+readable or at least in a standard format. ikiwiki does this twice over by using
+markdown for the source and producing static HTML from it.
+
+I'm currently using TWiki and have a fair number of pages in that format, does
+anyone have any bright ideas for translating? I can knock up awk scripts fairly
+easily, perl is possible (but I'm not strong in perl).

+
+# OpenID
+
+I just figured I'd edit something on the page with my OpenID, since you've implemented it! --*[Kyle](http://kitenet.net/~kyle/)*=
+
+> Kyle, If you like openid, I can switch your personal wiki over to use your openid. --[[Joey]]

+
+# ACL
+
+How about adding ACL? So that you can control which users are allowed
+to read, write certain pages. The moinmoin wiki has that, and it is
+something, that I think is very valuable.
+
+> ikiwiki currently has only the most rudimentary access controls: pages
+> can be locked, or unlocked and only the admin can edit locked pages. That
+> could certianly be expanded on, although it's not an area that I have an
+> overwhelming desire to work on myself right now. Patches appreciated and
+> I'll be happy to point you in the right directions.. --[[Joey]]
+
+>> I'm really curious how you'd suggest implementing ACLs on reading a page.

+>>> unless perhaps you decided to use http basic authentication and the
+>>> httpauth plugin for ikiwiki that integrates with that.. [[--Joey]]
+

+>>>> through the CGI sort of defeats the purpose of ikiwiki. --[[Ethan]]
----
+Some questions about the RecentChanges function. -- Ethan
+
+> (Moved to [[todo/recentchanges]] --[[Joey]])
+
+----
+
+Also, I'd like to request another template parameter which is just
+$config{url}. That way you won't have to hard-code the URL of the wiki into
+the template. -- Ethan
+
+> That's already available in the BASEURL parameter. --[[Joey]]
+

+
+# Canonical feed location?
+
+Any way to use `inline` but point the feed links to a different feed on the
+same site? I have news in news/*, a news archive in news.mdwn, and the
+first few news items on index.mdwn, but I don't really want two separate
+feeds, one with all news and one with the latest few articles; I'd rather
+point the RSS feed links of both to the same feed. (Which one, the one
+with all news or the one with the latest news only, I don't know yet.)
+
+> Not currently. It could be implemented, or you could just turn off the
+> rss feed for the index page, and manually put in a wikilink to the news
+> page and rss feed. --[[Joey]]
+
+>> That wouldn't use the same style for the RSS and Atom links, and it
+>> wouldn't embed the feed link into `<head>` so that browsers can automatically
+>> find it.
