One of the most exciting things that happened at TikiFestUK2 besides the food 😉 was the planning of the final steps to the 1.9 release. It was decided that 1.9 should have a modular installation system for some of the lesser used components of the TikiWiki system, such as ))Tiki-Sheet,Tiki-Maps((, phpCAS and Galaxia.

The second TikiFest in the UK: TikiFestUK2 has started today! The aim is to spend a lot of time with 1.9's code and to work towards a DR4 release on the 24th. We should have some visitors popping in throughout the week for Tiki talks! If your passing the neighbourhood, you are more than welcome to drop in, directions and details can be found on TikiFestUK2 page. If your a little further afield, than Cheshire, UK, do not worry! you can always join in by dropping into our IRC channel at irc://irc.freenode.net/#tikiwiki

Between now and most likely the mid to end of October BRANCH-1-9 will be under going some changes. We currently have some GPL libraries within the application, that must be removed and replaced for legal reasons. This notice is to say that during this period some functions of BRANCH-1-9 might not work as expected and you should be careful about using cvs up commands. Some of the related area's include mailin where POP3 is used, graphing, webmail, some of tiki-sheet. I know a lot of people use BRANCH-1-9 for production sites, which is why I am posting this notice. Developers need room to develop and replace these illegal libraries, expecting the CVS branches to be stable all the time is impossible. You have all been warned.

tw.o is bloated ? hey, you joke, let's add some more stuff in there ! 😊 Here are image gallery and file gallery back to life, contains old treasures ! The newsletter feature is also back for developers (with an immediate fix on fumbled subscription). All that is just a matter of dogfood for 1.9 release...

This new release candidate is the result of 2 months of debugging and enhancement, but it's still a developers release. Anybody using 1.9rc2 is invited to upgrade. see http://tikiwiki.org/changelog.txt for the recent changes and ReleaseProcess19 for the known bugs and status on that release. I hope the final is soon, but there will be at least a rc4. Thanks to everyone that worked on that rc3 cycle ! 😊 mose

As we now are 256 accounts on sf.net, that means we reached the 8bits. wow !!
Then I felt in mood to clean tw.o users database, by removing all unaccessed accounts older than 30 days. That genocide made around 700 victims. Requiem in pace. Don't be suprised in the population-meter change.

The United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organisation recommends and lists Tikiwiki as a Productivity Web Tool:

Tiki CMS/Groupware (aka TikiWiki) is a powerful open-source Content Management System (CMS) and Groupware that can be used to create all sorts of Web applications, Sites, Portals, Intranets and Extranets. TikiWiki also works great as a Web-based collaboration tool. TikiWiki is a multi-purpose package with a lot of native options and sections that you can enable/disable as you need them.

Interaction: TikiWiki is a content management system for writers. It supports wikiwiki web pages, blogs, CMS news article publishing, discussion forums, a directory of links, a calendar, RSS newsfeeds, user-designed databases for tracking contacts/events, and many other things as lots of people added code to the product over the last year.

Due to a large number of reports of the 1.8.4.zip package being corrupt, tonight it was repackaged and uploaded again to SourceForge. Within the next couple of hours it should have populated around the mirror sites.

If anyone is having trouble with any of the other archives, please comment this article and I'll get them repackaged and sent up to our project page again.

I recently upgraded doc.tikiwiki.org to use TikiWiki 1.9 development code, this will enable us to use the new multilingual features of TikiWiki to collaborate the documentation in different languages from within one site. Please if you can assist with documentation writing or translating, surf over and pick a page to get started.
