+I have converted the [GNU Hurd](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/)'s previous
+web pages and previous wiki pages to a *[[ikiwiki]]* system; and all that while
+preserving the previous content's history, which was stored in a CVS repository
+for the HTML web pages and a TWiki RCS repository for the wiki; see
+<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/colophon.html>.
 
-With respect to *[[ikiwiki]]* I'm currently working on...
+# Issues to Work On
 
-* setting it up for the [GNU Hurd's web pages](http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/);
-* setting it up as a replacement for the GNU Hurd's previous wiki (TWiki);
+## Stability of Separate Builds
 
-... and all that while trying to preserve the previous content's history,
-which is stored in a CVS repository for the web pages and a RCS repository
-for the wiki.
+The goal is that separate builds of the same source files should yield the
+exactly same HTML code (of course, except for changes due to differences in
+Markdown rendering, for example).
 
-Read [About the TWiki to ikiwiki conversion](http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/about_the_twiki_to_ikiwiki_conversion/).
+  * Timestamps -- [[forum/ikiwiki__39__s_notion_of_time]], [[forum/How_does_ikiwiki_remember_times__63__]]
+
+    Git set's the current *mtime* when checking out files.  The result is that
+    <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/contact_us.html> and
+    <http://www.bddebian.com:8888/~hurd-web/contact_us/> show different *Last
+    edited* timestamps.
+
+    This can either be solved by adding a facility to Git to set the
+    checked-out files' *mtime* according to the *AuthorDate* / *CommitDate*
+    (which one...), or doing that retroactively with the
+    <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/set_mtimes> script before building, or
+    with a ikiwiki-internal solution.

+## Tags -- [[bugs/tagged__40____41___matching_wikilinks]]
+
+Tags should be a separate concept from wikilinks.
+
+### \[[!map]] behavior
+
+The \[[!map]] on, for example,
+<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/tag/open_issue_hurd.html>, should not show
+the complete hierarchy of pages, but instead just the pages that actually *do*
+contain the \[[!tag open_issue_hurd]].
+
+## Anchors -- [[ikiwiki/wikilink/discussion]]
+
+## Default Content for Meta Values -- [[plugins/contrib/default_content_for___42__copyright__42___and___42__license__42__]]
+
+This will decrease to be relevant, as we're going to add copyright and
+licensing headers to every single file.
+
+## Texinfo -- [[plugins/contrib/texinfo]]
+
+Not very important.  Have to consider external commands / files / security (see
+[[plugins/teximg]] source code)?
+
+## Shortcuts -- [[plugins/shortcut/discussion]]
+
+## \[[!meta redir]] -- [[todo/__42__forward__42__ing_functionality_for_the_meta_plugin]]
+
+Implement a checker that makes sure that no pages that use \[[!meta redir]]
+redirect to another page (and are thus considered legacy pages for providing
+stable URLs, for example) are linked to from other wiki pages.  This is useful
+w.r.t. backlinks.  Alternative, the backlinks to the \[[!meta redir]]-using
+pages could perhaps be passed on to the referred-to page?
+
+## Sendmail -- [[todo/passwordauth:_sendmail_interface]]
+
+## Parentlinks -- [[bugs/non-existing_pages_in_parentlinks]]
+
+## Discussion Pages of Discussion Pages of...
+
+Is it useful to have Discussion pages of Discussion pages (etc.)?  -- On
+<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/building/cross-compiling/discussion.html>,
+this possibility is offered.
+
+## Modifying [[plugins/inline]] for showing only an *appetizer*
+
+Currently ikiwiki's inline plugin will either show the full page or nothing of
+it.  Often that's too much.  One can manually use the [[plugins/toggle]] plugin
+-- see the *News* section on <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/>.  Adding a new
+mode to the inline plugin to only show an *appetizer* ending with *... (read
+on)* after a customizable amount of characters (or lines) would be a another
+possibility.  The *... (read on)* would then either toggle the full content
+being displayed or link to the complete page.
+
+## Prefix For the HTML Title
+
+The title of each page (as in `<html><head><title>`...) should be prefixed with
+*GNU Project - GNU Hurd -*.  We can either do this directly in `page.tmpl`, or
+create a way to modify the `TITLE` template variable suitably.
+
+## [[plugins/inline]] feedfile option
+
+Not that important.  Git commit b67632cdcdd333cf0a88d03c0f7e6e62921f32c3.  This
+would be nice to have even when using *usedirs*.  Might involve issues as
+discussed in *N-to-M Mapping of Input and Output Files* on
+[[plugins/contrib/texinfo]].
+
+## Unverified -- these may be bugs, but have yet to be verified
+
+  * ikiwiki doesn't change its internal database when \[[!meta date]] /
+    \[[!meta updated]] are added / removed, and thusly these meta values are
+    not promulgated in RSS / Atom feeds.
+
+  * Complicated issue w.r.t. *no text was copied in this page*
+    ([[plugins/cutpaste]]) in RSS feed (only; not Atom?) under some conditions
+    (refresh only, but not rebuild?).  Perhaps missing to read in / parse some
+    files?
+
+  * [[plugins/recentchanges]]
+
+      * Creates non-existing links to changes.
+
+      * Invalid *directory link* with `--usedirs`.
+
+      * Doesn't honor `$timeformat`.
+
+      * Does create `recentchangees.*` files even if that is overridden.
