+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]].
 
-To use ikiwiki to set up a wiki, you will probably want to use it with a
-revision control system, such as [[Subversion]], for keeping track of past
-versions of pages. ikiwiki can run as a Subversion [[post-commit]] hook, so
-that each committed change to your wiki is immediatly compiled and
-published.
+* [[News]] is a blog (built using ikiwiki) of news items about ikiwiki. It's the best way to find out when there's a new version to [[Download]].
 
-See [[Features]] for a current list of ikiwiki's features. [[WhyIkiWiki]]
-might be useful if you're considering using this.
+* See [[Features]] for a current list of ikiwiki's features. [[TODO]] and [[bugs]] might also be of interest.
 
-[[Setup]] has a tutorial for setting up ikiwki.
+* [[Setup]] has a tutorial for setting up ikiwki, and [[Usage]] documents the parameters and usage of the ikiwiki program.
 
-[[TODO]] lists things that need to be added to ikiwiki before most people
-would consider it a full-fledged wiki.
+* [[Security]] lists potential security problems. ikiwiki is still being developed, and is being written with security as a priority, so don't expect things to stay in this list for long.
 
-All wikis are supposed to have a [[SandBox]], so this one does to.
