+When the wiki stores lists of pages, such as pages that are locked or pages
+that you want to be emailed if changed, it uses a GlobList.
+
+This is a list of page names, separated by white space. The "glob" bit is
+that as well as full page names, it can contain glob patterns. "`*`" stands
+in for any part of the page name, and "`?`" for any single letter of its
+name. So if you wanted to list all the pages about tea, and any
+[[SubPage]]s of the SandBox, but not including the SandBox itself:
+
+	*tea* SandBox/*
+
+You can also prefix an item in the list with "!" to skip matching any
+pages that match it. So if you want to specify all pages except for
+Discussion pages:

 Also, if someone checks in a symlink to /etc/passwd, ikiwiki would read and publish that, which could be used to expose files a committer otherwise wouldn't see.
 
-To avoid this, ikiwiki will avoid reading files that are symlinks, and uses locking to prevent more than one instance running at a time. The lock prevents one ikiwiki from running a svn up at the wrong time to race another ikiwiki. So only attackers who can write to the working copy on their own can race it.

 Might be nice to support automatically generating an index based on headers in a page, for long pages. The question is, how to turn on such an index?
 
-## page locking
+## basewiki underlay
 
-Some wikis will need the abiity to lock a page, or the whole wiki, so that only admins can edit them. Probably using the same globbing as for recentchanges mails to determine what to lock. 
+Rather than copy the basewii around everywhere, it should be configured to
+underlay the main srcdir, and pages be rendered from there if not in the
+srcdir. This would allow upgrades to add/edit pages in the basewiki.
 
-Probably it's ok if locking is only supported for web commits.
+Impementaion will be slightly tricky since currently ikiwiki is hardcoded
+in many places to look in srcdir for pages.
