+# 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).
