+Just thought people might like to know I've added a couple more plugins to contrib.
+
+[[plugins/contrib/newpage]]: This plugin adds a new action to the "ACTIONS" section of a page; a button labelled "create" and an input field next to it.
+
+The common way of creating a new page is to edit a different page and add a link to the new page. However, there are some situations where that is a nuisance; for example, where pages are listed using a map directive. The newpage plugin enables one to simply type the name of the new page, click the "create" button, and one is then taken to the standard IkiWiki create-page form.
+
+[[plugins/contrib/jssearchfield]]: This plugin provides the [[plugins/contrib/ikiwiki/directive/jssearchfield]] directive.  This
+enables one to search the structured data ("field" values) of multiple pages.
+This uses Javascript for the searching, which means that the entire thing
+is self-contained and does not require a server or CGI access, unlike
+the default IkiWiki search. This means that it can be used in places such
+as ebook readers.  The disadvantage is that because Javascript runs
+in the browser, the searching is only as fast as the machine your browser
+is running on.
+
+Because this uses Javascript, the htmlscrubber must be turned off for any page where the directive is used.
+
+This plugin depends on the [[!iki plugins/contrib/field]] plugin.
