+Any tool to edit the user database?
+
+> No, but it's fairly easy to write such tools in perl. For example, to

+
+       joey@kodama:~/src/joeywiki/.ikiwiki>perl -le 'use Storable; my $userinfo=Storable::retrieve("userdb"); print $_ foreach keys %$userinfo'         
+       http://joey.kitenet.net/
+       foo
+
+> To list each user's email address:
+
+       joey@kodama:~/src/joeywiki/.ikiwiki>perl -le 'use Storable; my $userinfo=Storable::retrieve("userdb"); print $userinfo->{$_}->{email} foreach keys %$userinfo'
+

+
+> Editing is simply a matter of changing values and calling Storable::store().
