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.</p> <p>(BTW, I'm told that "iki" is Finnish for "forever" so ikiwiki is "forever wiki". It's also nice to note that ikiwiki contains a kiwi.)</p> <p>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 <span class="createlink">Joey</span>'s, so that keeping everything in subversion, compiling websites to static html, and like design <a href="./features.html">features</a> appeal to you, you probably won't.</p> <p>Hmm, the above paragraph is less true today than it was when I wrote it.</p> </div> </div> <div id="footer" class="pagefooter" role="contentinfo"> <div id="pageinfo"> <div class="pagedate"> Last edited <span class="date">Tue Feb 26 23:01:54 2019</span> <!-- Created <span class="date">Tue Feb 26 23:01:54 2019</span> --> </div> </div> <!-- from ikiwiki --> </div> </div> </body> </html>
