Ikiwiki replacement etc.

[Tuomo Valkonen]

I will have to replace Ikiwiki as the Ion site generator, since
it fails to work under Cygwin. (Excessive and ugly mangling of
all input into UTF-8 breaks down in the 2007 snapshot I'd been
using. *sigh*. The compiler doesn't need to know the encoding
used; only the web frontend does. Newer versions don't build. 
No response from the author.)

One thing that has been suggested, is webgen. But it seems that to do
all the inlining or even listing of all the FAQ entries, I'd have to
spend time learning Ruby/ERB/webgen internals, and I really have spent
far too much time on the computer/OS switch [1] already. A quick&dirty
Lua or shell script would be faster to write. (Actually, I hate the
way Ikiwiki handles intra-wiki links, with its own syntax instead of
using markdown. Webgen, OTOH, doesn't have any support for easy linking.
I'd like to just define ready aliases for markdown for pages on the
site. There actually exists a markdown implementation in Lua...)

Does anyone have any other suggestions for site generator, or what 
to do with the site, that wouldn't involve too much effort from me? 
This could also be tied to the scripts repository, distribution of 
extra patches etc..

I still refuse to edit pages through crappy browsers' editors,
and whatever is chosen should support markdown for easy conversion
(and because most other ASCII markup languages are too bloated).
