#
# Known limitations:
#
-# - Only wiki pages are managed, no support for [[File:...]]
-# attachments.
-#
-# - Poor performance in the best case: it takes forever to check
-# whether we're up-to-date (on fetch or push) or to fetch a few
-# revisions from a large wiki, because we use exclusively a
-# page-based synchronization. We could switch to a wiki-wide
-# synchronization when the synchronization involves few revisions
-# but the wiki is large.
+# - Several strategies are provided to fetch modifications from the
+# wiki, but no automatic heuristics is provided, the user has
+# to understand and chose which strategy is appropriate for him.
#
# - Git renames could be turned into MediaWiki renames (see TODO
# below)
#
-# - login/password support requires the user to write the password
-# cleartext in a file (see TODO below).
-#
# - No way to import "one page, and all pages included in it"
#
# - Multiple remote MediaWikis have not been very well tested.
