Moving to ikiwikihttp://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/log/2007/08/25/moving-to-ikiwiki/2021-03-05T07:51:57Z2007-08-25T05:10:39Z
<p>I've moved my advogato blog to ikiwiki and integrated it into my website. So far things are working out well. To migrate my website from bamboo to ikiwiki, I had to write a couple of plugins to implement features of bamboo. The first simply <a href="https://ikiwiki.info/plugins/headinganchors/">creates id tags for headers</a> based on the text. The second <a href="https://ikiwiki.info/plugins/contrib/siterel2pagerel/">converts site-relative links to page-relative links</a> so you can put an ikiwiki in a subdir of a site.</p>

<p>Finally got meself an account after lurking here for years.</p>
<p>On the free software side of things I just (not 30 min ago) released a minor update to chmspec. Yeah, I know it's GFDL & there are non-freeness issues with that particular licence, but as far as I know there are no proper alternatives as yet.</p>
