Hi Bastien,

You might have seen this already, but I recently announced a different
approach to compiling org files with ikiwiki.  It isn't exactly stable
yet, but you might want to keep an eye on
<https://github.com/chrismgray/ikiwiki-org-plugin>.

It currently has features that Manoj's plugin does not have, such as
properly setting the title of the page, and allowing images (currently
only absolute urls are tested, but that should be improved soon) and
wikilinks.

Anyway, I think you are probably making the right decision in using
Manoj's plugin for now, but mine is being more actively developed, so it
might be the better choice fairly soon.

Cheers,
Chris
