[[!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',
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]]
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>
Finally, 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
