+Monotone support works, but there are still a few minor missing bits (listed here so they are not forgotten):
+ * At the moment there are no links to display diffs between revisions. It shouldn't be hard to add links to a [ViewMTN](http://grahame.angrygoats.net/moinmoin/ViewMTN) instance, but it hasn't been done yet.
+ * The [[post-commit]] hook support, so that Ikiwiki sends change notifications when people commit using Monotone rather than the web interface, is partially implemented and untested.
+ * Documentation (this page) could be improved.
+ * If you have both a conflict and a simultaneous rename on a file, then Ikiwiki may get confused.
+
+There is also a mismatch between the way Ikiwiki handles conflicts and the way Monotone handles conflicts. At present, if there is a conflict, then Ikiwiki will commit a revision with conflict markers before presenting it to the user. This is ugly, but there is no clean way to fix it at present.
