Found tiki searching for information-sharing and groupware apps for my company.
Feb 2003
Have spend weekends and nights to figure out if its usefull for my company.
By the way I installed on my windows desktop for the first time in my life Apache, ))MySql(( and PHP and learned how to solve problems using the internet.
The old 1.6 pdf manual was also very helpful.
April 2003
Asked our technicians to install Tiki on our Server. This time on ))SuSe(( Linux.
Mai 2003
We have installed Tiki and use it on our intranet.
We had to switch from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-7 encoding for compatibility with existing data and/or apps.
I suspect this will be a problem in the future.
March 2004
Tiki is online for 426 days and we upgraded from 1.6 to 1.7.6 and its going well.
An attempt to jump to 1.8 failed - still dont know why.
On 28 of March I started a Greek language.php file and after the first weekend I feel that it will be fun and it will be usefull too.
April 2004
Our Tiki is finally runing on 1.8.2 and the partial translation from 1.7.6 works also on the new version. Now I have to understand better the mechanism related to the language files.
Some contacts to other greek Tiki fans - maybe there will be a greek branch of the Tiki community.
As far as I want to support this activly I have to think about the reasons why the greek open source community is so weak.
December 2005
Meanwhile we have two Tiki sites running. The first is our intranet site, running for 1469 days, and the second one is the commercial site PcShop(external link) running since a month.
I discovered that using the sql plugin and retrieving product codes from our Oracle based ERP with a construct like:

SELECT '(('||product_code||'))' AS PRODUCT FROM...

helps us to create semiautomatically wikipages for our products.
I tried to use the trick in tiki mobile but it doesnt work for two reasons:
  • in tiki mobile I see the articlecode with double parentheses, so its not parsed as a wiki link
  • the utf8 encoded greek characters are translated to '?'
Its a pitty.

Pages of interest are LanguageGreek and LanguageGreekIssues
