+Trac Wiki converted to Pelican Markdown
+=======================================
+
+This is a dummy landing page for a Trac Wiki site converted to
+Markdown and fed through Pelican to create a static web site.
+
+See [the conversion scripts that produced
+this](https://git.hactrn.net/sra/trac-wiki-to-markdown) for details on
+the conversion process.  Be warned that it's a lot of nasty regular
+expressions, because nothing other than Trac really understand's
+Track's Wiki format.
+
+Trac's landing page is always called [WikiStart](wikistart.html).
+
+Pelican's [automatically-generated index](pelican-index.html) is the
+default Pelican landing page, but we had to move it aside to make room
+for this one.
+
+For the initial conversion we just use Pelican's default theme.
+There's a *lot* of room to adjust the appearance, and a lot of
+[example themes already available for Pelican](http://pelicanthemes.com/).
+
+Similarly, we don't do anything with Pelican's "category" mechanism
+because it has no direct analogue in TracWiki.  See [the Pelican
+documentation](https://docs.getpelican.com/en/stable/) for details on
+how to use the category mechanism, or how to disable it completely.
+
+Feel free to clean all of this up, this page is just a placeholder to
+make it easy to navigate the converted wiki until a human takes over.
