Happy 24th Anniversary, Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware!

On October 7, 2026, Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware turns 24!

It began in 2002 with a simple vision from Luis Argerich: a completely free, fully featured CMS that anyone could use. Twenty-four years later, that idea is still going strong, thanks to the people who keep it alive.

A year of progress

The past twelve months have been busy:

  • Tiki 29Question was released in September 2025, bringing Summernote as the new WYSIWYG editor, DiceBear avatars and a range of usability improvements.
  • Tiki 30 LTSQuestion arrived in July 2026. It modernizes the platform under the hood and gives organizations a stable version to rely on for years.
  • TikiFest ParisQuestion brought contributors together again in June 2026 to code, test, document and share ideas in person.
  • Security updatesQuestion were published across several supported branches, thanks to responsible reporting from security researchers and quick work from our security team.


What makes Tiki different

For 24 years, Tiki has stayed true to a simple idea: people should be able to build the digital tools they need, and keep control of them.

  • Open. Tiki is free and open-source software. Anyone can use it, study it, modify it and share it, and that openness is part of why Tiki exists.
  • Integrated. Content, data, collaboration, permissions and workflows are designed to work together, so organizations don’t have to assemble everything from separate systems.
  • Adaptable. Tiki adapts to the work, instead of making the work adapt to the software. It can be configured and extended to fit different organizations and ways of working.
  • In your control. You choose how and where Tiki is deployed and how your data is managed, without depending on a single proprietary platform.


Tiki’s strength has always been its openness: anyone can use it, improve it and shape where it goes next.

Thank you

To everyone who has contributed code, reported a bug, answered a question in the forums, translated a string, written a doc page, tested a release, or simply used Tiki for their project: thank you. You are Tiki!

Here’s to 24 years of collaboration, and many more to come!
