+I am thinking of adding pagination to the [[plugins/contrib/report]] plugin, but I'm not sure which is the best approach to take. (By "pagination" I mean breaking up a report into multiple pages with N entries per page.)
+
+Approaches:
+
+1. generate additional HTML files on the fly which are placed in the sub-directory for the page the report is on. These are not "pages", they are not under revision control, they aren't in the %pagesources hash etc. But using the `will_render` mechanism assures that they will be removed when they are no longer needed.
+
+2. create new pages which each have a report directive which shows a subset of the full result; add them to revision control, treat them as full pages. Problems with this are: (a) trying to figure out when to create these new pages and when not to, (b) whether or not these pages can be deleted automatically.
+
+3. some other approach I haven't thought of.
+
+I'm afraid that whatever approach I take, it will end up being a kludge.

-[[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch is merged into ikiwiki upstream, the
-generated links' text will be optionally based on the page titles set

-It will also allow displaying the translation status in links to slave
-pages. Both were implemented, and reverted in commit
-ea753782b222bf4ba2fb4683b6363afdd9055b64, which should be reverted
-once [[intrigeri]]'s `meta` branch is merged.
-
-An integration branch, called `meta-po`, merges [[intrigeri]]'s `po`
-and `meta` branches, and thus has this additional features.
-
-Language display order
-----------------------
-
-Jonas pointed out that one might want to control the order that links to
-other languages are listed, for various reasons. Currently, there is no
-order, as `po_slave_languages` is a hash. It would need to be converted
-to an array to support this. (If twere done, twere best done quickly.)
