-* [[sigs]] ?

-* Support [[RecentChanges]] as a regular page containing a plugin that
-  updates each time there is a change, and statically builds the recent
-  changes list. (Would this be too expensive/inflexible? There might be
-  other ways to do it as a plugin, like making all links to RecentChanges
-  link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.) 
-
-  Or using an iframe
-  to inline the cgi, although firefox seems to render that nastily with
-  nested scroll bars. :-(
-> Or just link to the equivalent in the version control system, if available;
-> gitweb's shortlog or summary view would work nicely as a
-> RecentChanges. --[[JoshTriplett]]

 * It would be nice to be able to have a button to show "Differences" (or 
   "Show Diff") when editing a page. Is that an option that can be enabled?
   Using a plugin?

 * manpage plugin: convert **"ls(1)"** style content into Markdown like **\[ls(1)\]\(http://example.org/man.cgi?name=ls&sect=1\)** or into HTML directly.

+* As I couldn't find another place to ask, I'll try here. I would like to install some contributed plugins, but can not find anywhere to downlod them.

+* I was thinking about a tex plugin, to handle tex4ht files. I have since discovered that pandoc on the output from tex4ht seems to be good enough. --[[DavidBremner]]

+* Setting default values for the meta plugin in the setup file, particularly author, license, and copyright, would be useful

+* What about a translator plugin using source-highlight or some alternative to view a collection of source code. I have a collection 
+of e.g. java for students to look at. I'd like to e.g. update the tags in the java file, then rebuild the wiki.     A first hack, can be found in 
+[my wiki](http://www.cs.unb.ca/~bremner/wiki/software/java.pm)
+Among many possible improvements would be generalizing to handle other languages. I have to play some more.
