- probably not worth it
-1. Read a directory full of markdown/textile files
+> "'We're going to have to get Mr Cripslock to engrave page 11 again,' he said mournfully. 'He's spelt "famine" with seven letters --'"

-(lcmark.convert "hello *world*" "html" { :yaml_parser #($1) })

+Cripslock is named after the Discworld engraver who appears in "Maskerade"
+and his grand daughter Sacharissa.
+It's going to be a sort of a cross between a blog and a wiki but I'm

-2. index them by title
-4. make summaries from frontmatter or first para
-5. for each hashtag in each file, add it to a list

+### TODO
-** for /, paginate files in rev date order and show summary
-** for /yyyy/mm, all the files with pub date in that month
-** for /slug, the page with that filename (assuming it's unambiguous)
-** for /yyyy/mm/slug, display as per slug
-** for /#tagname, search hashtags for files, paginate summaries
-** for /edit/slug, an edit form
-** for /new/, also the edit form but slug is editable as well
-** ?content-type=rss on any page produces an rss version of that page
+* summaries / some way to signify "after the cut"
+* hashtags
+* rss
+* editing?
+* how to surface "timeless" pages
