… To put it short: an Ikiwiki newbie.
[Emacs]: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/
[Lynx]: http://lynx.isc.org/
## Wikis
Currently, I run a few Ikiwiki instances. Namely:
* <http://lhc.am-1.org/lhc/>
&mdash; to hold random stuff written by me, my colleagues,
students, etc.
* <http://rsdesne.am-1.org/rsdesne-2010/>
&mdash; for some of the materials related to the
&ldquo;Remote Sensing in Education, Science and National
Economy&rdquo; (2010-03-29 &hellip; 2010-04-10, Altai State
University) program I've recently participated in as
an instructor.
* <http://nets.asu591.ru/networks-2011/>
&mdash; for bits &amp; pieces related to the course on computer
networks I've read in 2011.
## Preferences
I prefer to use [Lynx][] along with [Emacs][] (via
`emacsclient`) to work with the wikis. (Note the &ldquo;Local
variables&rdquo; section below.)
The things I dislike in the wiki engines are:
* the use of home-brew specialized version control systems
&mdash; while there're a lot of much more developed general
purpose ones;
* oversimplified syntax
&mdash; which (to some extent) precludes more sophisticated
forms of automated processing; in particular, this forces one
to reformat the material, once complete, to, say, prepare a
book, or an article, or slides.
Out of all the wiki engines I'm familiar with, only Ikiwiki is
free of the first of these. I hope that it will support more
elaborate syntaxes eventually.
