+Dear ikiwiki users, and specially [[users/KathrynAndersen]] ([[users/rubykat]]):
+have you considered some way of extending ikiwiki to allow some kind of
+on-the-fly generation of web forms to create new pages? these web forms should
+offer as many fields as one has defined in some [[page
+template|plugins/contrib/ftemplate]], and, once POSTed, should create a page
+using that template, with those fields already filled with the values the user
+provided.
+
+I see this a a generalization of the `postform` option of the
+[[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] directive. That option tells ikiwiki to create a
+form with one field already filled (title).
+
+What are your ideas about this?
