file. The command will be run in your destdir, so something like this
is a typical command:
- rsync => 'rsync -qa --delete . user@host:/path/to/docroot/',
+ rsync_command => 'rsync -qa --delete . user@host:/path/to/docroot/',
If using rsync over ssh, you will need to enable noninteractive ssh login
to the remote host. It's also a good idea to specify the exact command line
The following instructions describe ways of obtaining the current version of
the wiki. We do not yet cover importing the history of edits.
+Another set of instructions and conversion tools (which imports the full history)

## Step 1: Getting a list of pages
The first bit of information you require is a list of pages in the Mediawiki.

git](http://u32.net/Mediawiki_Conversion/index.html?updated), including full

Hello. Got ikiwiki running and I'm planning to convert my personal
Mediawiki wiki to ikiwiki so I can take offline copies around. If anyone
has an old copy of the instructions, or any advice on where to start I'd be
sysadmins.
* my edits should appear either as 'Jon' (if I've used
- [[tips/untrusted_git_push]]) or 'jmtd.net' (or once upon a time
- 'alcopop.org/me/openid/' or 'jondowland').

I gave a talk at the [UK UNIX User's Group](http://www.ukuug.org/) annual
-[Linux conference](http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2008/) about organising
-system administrator documentation. Roughly a third of this talk was
-discussing IkiWiki in some technical detail and suggesting it as a good piece
-of software for this task.

I am also working on some ikiwiki hacks:

+ [[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] plugin.
I am mostly interested in ikiwiki usability issues:
