-Hello. Got ikiwiki running and I'm planning to convert my personal Mediawiki wiki to ikiwiki so I can take offline copies around. If anyone has an old copy of the instructions, or any advice on where to start I'd be glad to hear it. Otherwise I'm just going to chronicle my journey on the page.--[[users/Chadius]]
