-Welcome to the ikiwiki documentation wiki.
-
-ikiwiki is a wiki compiler. It converts a directory full of wiki pages
-into html pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike a traditional
-wiki, ikiwiki does not have its own means of storing page history or its own
-markup language. Instead it uses [[Subversion]] and [[MarkDown]].

+ikiwiki is a **wiki compiler**. It converts wiki pages
+into HTML pages suitable for publishing on a website. Unlike many
+wikis, ikiwiki does not have its own ad-hoc means of storing page history,
+and instead uses a revision control system such as [[Subversion]].
 
 * [[News]] is a blog (built using ikiwiki) of news items about ikiwiki.
-  Yes, it's free software, yes you can [[Download]] it.
+  It's the best way to find out when there's a new version to [[Download]].
+
+* Ikiwiki has a nice set of wiki [[features]] which can be expanded by
+  a large array of [[plugins]]. It also has some [[bugs]], a [[TODO]] list,
+  and a [[RoadMap]].

+  the parameters and usage of the ikiwiki program. There are some

+* Feel free to post your questions and thoughts about ikiwiki to
+  [[Discussion]], or [[contact]] the developers.

+* Developers, please document any ikiwiki patches you have in the
