I've been using IkiWiki for my personal site since 2008, as well as a number of private instances. I joined the IkiWiki maintainers in 2024.

contributions

I've worked on a few different issues and bugs over the years (they are probably linked in "Backlinks", below). I slowly maintain the Opinionated Ikiwiki container. I have recently taken on the Debian packaging. My current focus is working upstream.

historic

I gave a talk at the UK UNIX User's Group annual Linux conference 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.

Review requested

I prefer to have another pair of eyeballs ACK my own patches where possible. These are ready for a look:

• backlinks onhover thing can go weird
• don't generate an empty parentlink span
• add a search plugin that uses duckduckgo
