… To put it short: an Ikiwiki newbie.
[Altai State University]: http://www.asu.ru/
[Emacs]: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
[Lynx]: http://lynx.isc.org/
[Software Freedom Day]: http://sf-day.org/
## Wikis
Currently, I run a few Ikiwiki instances. Namely:
* <http://sfd.am-1.org/>
— [Software Freedom Day][]
event at [Altai State University][].
* <https://spire.am-1.org/>
— introductory materials
on XML, Markdown, Ikiwiki, etc.
in Russian.
* <http://am-1.org/~ivan/networks-2011/>
— bits & pieces related to the course on computer
networks I've read in 2011.
* http://rsdesne.am-1.org/rsdesne-2010/
**(down since December, 2012)**
— used to hold some of the materials related to the
“Remote Sensing in Education, Science and National
Economy” (2010-03-29 … 2010-04-10, Altai State
University) program I've participated in as
an instructor.
* http://lhc.am-1.org/lhc/
**(down since December, 2012)**
— used to hold random stuff written by me, my colleagues,
students, etc.
## Preferences
I prefer to use [Lynx][] along with [Emacs][] (via
`emacsclient`) to work with the wikis. (Note the “Local
variables” section below.)
The things I dislike in the wiki engines are:
* the use of home-brew specialized version control systems
— while there're a lot of much more developed general
purpose ones;
* oversimplified syntax
— which (to some extent) precludes more sophisticated
forms of automated processing; in particular, this forces one
to reformat the material, once complete, to, say, prepare a
book, or an article, or slides.
Out of all the wiki engines I'm familiar with, only Ikiwiki is
free of the first of these. I hope that it will support more
elaborate syntaxes eventually.
