    2. save that list into a text file
    3. replace tab characters with newline (e.g. with sed) giving a list of all wiki pages, each page in a separate line
    4. paste that list into special:export
    5. ensure you save the XML, not the HTML representation

More personal todo

• Firefox is horrifically slow.
  • It is said that a zrom will fix this. Update to a more recent beta to have that.
  • It is said that a swapfile will help.

• Is there a port of zsh on the Pandora?
  • Maybe port it myself.

• Research more deeply into lxde. It needs to be spruced up so I can replace the default desktop environment.
  • where is the openbox config? Right now I have to

    \openbox --replace

    Check appdata.

• panplayer - .flv player, test/review
