1 Suggestions of ideas for plugins:
3 * list of registered users - tricky because it sorta calls for a way to rebuild the page when a new user is registered. Might be better as a cgi?
4 > At best, this could only show the users who have logged in, not all
5 > permitted by the current auth plugin(s). HTTP auth would need
6 > web-server-specific code to list all users, and openid can't feasibly do so
7 > at all. --[[JoshTriplett]]
9 * Support [[RecentChanges]] as a regular page containing a plugin that
10 updates each time there is a change, and statically builds the recent
11 changes list. (Would this be too expensive/inflexible? There might be
12 other ways to do it as a plugin, like making all links to RecentChanges
13 link to the cgi and have the cgi render it on demand.)
16 to inline the cgi, although firefox seems to render that nastily with
17 nested scroll bars. :-(

21 >>Why not fork the process? We wouldn't have to wait around for a response since we would assume the recent changes page was being generated correctly.
23 * It would be nice to be able to have a button to show "Differences" (or
24 "Show Diff") when editing a page. Is that an option that can be enabled?
27 * For PlaceWiki I want to be able to do some custom plugins, including one
28 that links together subpages about the same place created by different
29 users. This seems to call for a plugin that applies to every page w/o any
30 specific marker being used, and pre-or-post-processes the full page
31 content. It also needs to update pages when related pages are added,
32 so it needs to register dependencies pre-emptively between pages,
33 or something. It's possible that this is a special case of backlinks and
34 is best implemented by making backlinks a plugin somehow. --[[Joey]]
36 * random page (cgi plugin; how to link to it easily?)
38 * How about an event calendar. Events could be sub-pages with an embedded
39 code to detail recurrance and/or event date/time
41 * rcs plugin ([[JeremyReed]] has one he has been using for over a month with over 850 web commits with 13 users with over ten commits each.)
43 * asciidoc or txt2tags format plugins
45 Should be quite easy to write, the otl plugin is a good example of a
48 >>Isn't there a conflict between ikiwiki using \[\[ \]\] and asciidoc using the same?
49 >>There is a start of an asciidoc plugin at <http://www.mail-archive.com/asciidoc-discuss@metaperl.com/msg00120.html>
52 * manpage plugin: convert **"ls(1)"** style content into Markdown like **\[ls(1)\]\(http://example.org/man.cgi?name=ls§=1\)** or into HTML directly.

59 * As I couldn't find another place to ask, I'll try here. I would like to install some contributed plugins, but can not find anywhere to downlod them.
61 > Not sure what you mean, the [[plugins/contrib]] page lists contributed plugins, and each of their pages tells where to download the plugin from.. --[[Joey]]
