[[!meta title="Jon Dowland"]] I'm looking at ikiwiki both for my personal site but also as a team-documentation management system for a small-sized group of UNIX sysadmins. * my edits should appear either as 'Jon' (if I've used [[tips/untrusted_git_push]]); 'jmtd.net', 'jmtd.livejournal.com', 'jmtd' if I've forgotten to set my local git config properly, or once upon a time 'alcopop.org/me/openid/' or 'jondowland'. * My [homepage](http://jmtd.net/) is powered by ikiwiki I gave a talk at the [UK UNIX User's Group](http://www.ukuug.org/) annual [Linux conference](http://www.ukuug.org/events/linux2008/) in 2008 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. * slides at <http://www.staff.ncl.ac.uk/jon.dowland/unix/docs/>. I am also working on some ikiwiki hacks: * [[todo/allow site-wide meta definitions]] * Improving the means by which you can migrate from mediawiki to IkiWiki. See [[tips/convert mediawiki to ikiwiki]] and the [[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] plugin. I am mostly interested in ikiwiki usability issues: * [[bugs/the login page is unclear when multiple methods exist]] * [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]] * [[todo/CSS classes for links]] * [[todo/adjust commit message for rename, remove]] The following I have been looking at, but are on the back-burner: * an alternative approach to [[plugins/comments]] (see [[todo/more flexible inline postform]] for one piece of the puzzle; <http://dev.jmtd.net/comments/> for some investigation into making the post form more integrated); possibly also [[todo/pagespec to disable ikiwiki directives]] * a system for [[forum/managing_todo_lists]] (see also [[todo/interactive todo lists]] and <http://dev.jmtd.net/outliner/> for the current WIP). * a `tag2` plugin, which does the same thing as [[plugins/tag]], but does not sit on top of [[ikiwiki/wikilink]]s, so does not result in bugs such as [[bugs/tagged() matching wikilinks]]. Code for this lives in my github `tag2` branch: <http://github.com/jmtd/ikiwiki> Penultimately, the following are merely half-formed thoughts: * adding and removing tags to pages via the edit form by ticking and unticking checkboxes next to a tag name (rather than entering the directive into the text of the page directly) * perhaps the same for meta Finally, backlinks (since I have issues with the current backlinks implementation, see [[bugs/backlinks onhover thing can go weird]]): [[!inline pages="link(users/Jon)" archive="yes" feeds="no"]]
