Feature idea: I'd like to be able to tag pages in an ikiwiki blog with a
|
|
|
|
|
publication date, and have the option of building a blog that excludes
|
|
|
|
|
publication dates in the future. (meta pubdate= ?)

I'm using ikiwiki on git for a "tip of the day" RSS feed, and I'd like to
|
|
|
|
|
be able to queue up a bunch of items instead of literally putting in one
|
|
|
|
|
tip per day. In the future I think this will come in handy for other
|
|
|
|
|
Mainstream Media-oriented requirements such as "embargo dates" and "editor
|
|
|
|
|
on vacation".
