Happy Birthday, Tiki!
-October 9th is a special date for us, as it marks the completion of another successful year for Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware. It was all started in 2002 by Luis Argerich with just a handful of users and with significant community support still off in the future. After years of active development, in 2020, Tiki has had one of the largest Open Source teams in the world. Tiki has been contributed to by some 300 developers, and has thousands of users, many features and configuration options, continuous improvement and industry-wide use for public websites and nonpublic intranets and special applications.
Message from Tiki.org about the Coronavirus Pandemic
-At this difficult time with the coronavirus pandemic spread around the world and people everywhere doing their best to cope with it and recover, we want to express our solidarity with everyone responding to the problem, and we assure you that we will try to do our part by continuing to make Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware available as a free tool for online collaboration and data presentation, which may be especially useful in this time of social distancing.
Welcome to new Tiki project administrators
-Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware is an organic self-governing project that values doing things "the wiki way" and, in this spirit, when it's time to find people to join the group of project administrators, we draw from the community, looking for members who have been participating actively and are in a position to contribute time and effort to help with the guidance and direction of the project.
At this time, the Admin Group of the Tiki Software Community Association is pleased to announce the addition of four new members: Bilal Siddiq, Brendan Ferguson, Fabio Montefuscolo, and Lindon Barnfield, who have been involved in the project in various ways and can contribute their particular skills and perspectives. The new members expand the range of the admin group in terms of geography, knowledge and experience, and we are very pleased to make this announcement. Thanks again to the new admins for joining as we look forward to a great 2020.

Happy Seventeen, Tiki !
-Congratulations to all of the Tiki family for completing 17 years of improvement, enhancement and continuous releases.
In October 2002 (on the 9th), the first piece of the Tiki open source software code was released, and today Tiki is one of the most advanced wiki-centric web applications available. Tiki 20 is the fruit of this hard work. This version is a big jump toward our next major release and everyone is warmly invited to upgrade to Tiki20 to enjoy many improvements. This achievement is the result of the continuous efforts of the Tiki contributors and community and it is a great celebration for all!

Tiki named to 10 Best Open Source Collaboration Software Tools list!
-The Tiki Community is proud to announce that Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware has been named by Small Business Computing as one of the best open source collaboration tools!
From their article:
Collaboration software offer small businesses a wide variety of benefits. They can increase teamwork and communication, particularly if people on your team work in different locations. They can also help you share knowledge more widely throughout the organization and lessen the chance that employees will waste time duplicating the same work. They can also streamline your business processes and reduce the need for face-to-face meetings—both of which can decrease costs.
For Tiki specifically, the article goes on to say:
Today, it's a more full-featured open source collaboration software tool that also includes blogs, forums, calendar, image galleries, and surveys. Many people use it to manage their websites, and it can be particularly useful for intranets focused on a particular project.

Thank you to our helpful, active community of developers and users for helping Tiki make the list!
