WarningFree format, please
Please, Provide formats usable with free software alternatives, such as Scribus(external link) or similar (Why Scribus can't open Adobe Indesign files?(external link)). It's not accidental that in Tiki Community we use free software applications as much as we can, specially when there are solutions out there good enough for most tasks.





Some backgrounder info

[+]

Front



Tiki is a web-based, multilingual, wiki-based, content management system (CMS) with a tightly integrated set of comprehensive groupware features. Tiki is free and open source software, created by a large, international development team.

Tiki includes hundreds of deeply integrated features. Unlike other solutions, Tiki “does it all.” You do not need to find other modules or add-ons to fill in the missing pieces. With its “all-in-one” design, Tiki can easily create all types of collaborative applications: websites, portals, knowledge bases, intranets, extranets, and more. With an enormous feature set, and a web-based, administration interface, Tiki has both the features you require and the ease-of-configuration that you desire. Because of its rich feature set and active developer community, Tiki will meet all of your requirements, now and in the future.
