Why call it ikiwiki? Well, partly because I'm sure some people will find
this a pretty Iky Wiki, since it's so different from other Wikis. Partly
because "ikiwiki" is a nice palindrome. Partly because its design turns
the usual design for a Wiki inside-out and backwards.
(BTW, I'm told that "iki" is Finnish for "forever" so ikiwiki is "forever wiki".)
Oh, maybe you wanted to know why you'd want to choose ikiwiki instead of all the other wikis out there? Unless your personal strangeness significantly aligns with [[Joey]]'s, so that keeping everything in subversion, compiling websites to static html, and like design [[features]] appeal to you, you probably won't.
Hmm, the above paragraph is less true today than it was when I wrote it.
