This is to inform you abut the three oral communications related to TikiWiki usage in educational scenarios, that are going to be held in the following months. Below you may find the abstracts of the three communications (first one written in Spanish, the other two in English; however, all three will be probably presented in Catalan, since they'll be held in Barcelona...).

We have been using (while being developed by sylvie's & other devs.' nice work) some new features in TikiWiki 1.10, highly suitable for educational scenarios (Contributions & Action logs, mainly, with some improvements to Tikisheets in our specific case of experimental sciences). These features would be quite ready for production use, if we wouldn't have to wait until 1.10 is released as "THE" stable version... (who knows when..., but each time closer as 1.9.x matures, times passes, and 1.10 seems to be pretty stable already 😉)

Here it is, the new Release 1.9.3 of TikiWiki. It contains fixes for some security issues, improvements of PHP5 and mySQL5 compatibility, many bugfixes, enhancements and new features as well.

If you are running a TikiWiki version 1.9.2 or older you should upgrade soon.

NOTE: We have raised the version number to 1.9.3.1 right now. See full article for details.

You can download it at SourceForge: TikiWiki 1.9.3.1

See the (not yet) complete changelog at ReleaseProcess193.

Project Description

A dedicated Tiki themes web site has opened at themes.tikiwiki.org. The purpose of the new site is to promote the creating and sharing of new themes for Tiki. Tiki is well-known as full-featured portal/CMS/groupware, but Tiki's page design flexibility hasn't really been fully demonstrated. The idea of the new site is to promote this capability. As with other aspects of Tiki, both those who can offer help and those who need help are encouraged to participate.

In a few words, AulaWiki offers team collaboration environments (workspaces), allowing you to manage sets of Tiki resources in an easy way.
You can define different kinds of workspaces, to support the collaboration needs of each kind of team (Projects, Courses, Organizational Departments....).
