Rublog also has a (currently commented out) feature called filters, 
which Martin Fowler and I worked on earlier this year. The idea was to 
allow you to write plug-in filters that limit the set of pages 
displayed. These would probably do what you wanted.

It also has an index page facility: if a directory has a file called 
[Ii]ndex.xxx, that it is displayed, rather that the files in that 
directory. That's how I do

Perhaps these two features might help
