[[!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]]) or 'jmtd.net' (or once upon a time
'alcopop.org/me/openid/' or 'jondowland').
My homepage is powered by ikiwiki

I gave a talk at the UK UNIX User's Group annual
Linux conference 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:

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)
a system for [[forum/managing_todo_lists]] (see also
[[todo/interactive todo lists]] and http://dev.jmtd.net/outliner/ for the
current WIP).
