Features / Usability

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.

The Tiki Community will join together for a Virtual TikiFest June 2020.
As it has never been done before, for this virtual TikiFest we are trying a kind of new concept — with no traveling involved, there are no constraints regarding locations or timing.

Several tasks, discussions, topics are being organized:

• Profiles Revamp
• Vue.js
• Tiki sites Improvements
• Endangered features
• Web browser accessibility

While some restrictions are being lifted in various countries, the coronavirus pandemic is still a serious threat to public health, and guidelines for the safe and gradual restoration of travel are making it impossible to organize a normal Tikifest where people from all over the world to meet and work together for several days. But, because we often get together online, and we have the Tiki tools to collaborate remotely, the lockdowns won’t stop us from holding a virtual TikiFest.

The dates, topics, agenda, and so on for the online event are being planned now. At our recent Round Table Meeting, Tiki's Profiles feature was brought up as something that needs to be repaired or replaced, so this is on the agenda for sure. Beyond that, please visit TikiFest Virtual 2020 for more information. If you would like to help set the details, please register at Tiki.org if you haven't done so already, and add your ideas to the page. And stay tuned for the announcement of the meeting dates and other details.

For our next Tiki Roundtable Meeting, I’ll be the facilitator and I have some stuff in mind I’d like to share and see what's happening. Visit the following page, enter your date and time preference and join us for two hours of Tiki video chat.

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.

About the new members . . . .

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 20.1 has been released with enhancements, improved security and several bugfixes.

Pascal Kustner (pkdille) left us in the night of April 30th/May 1st 2019, succumbing to cancer.

Due to the success of those sessions we decided to held a meeting every 1st, 2nd and 4th Thursday of every month till the end of this year (and it will stay like this if it works as well as today).

Next Tiki Open Office Hours will be this Thursday (8/11/18) from 15h to 17h UTC.

A Tiki Online Open Hours is a live two-hour session with a Tiki specialist who will be available to talk with you about Tiki, and try to help you and answer your questions. It is casual and open to everyone no matter if you are a developer, a webmaster or a user - this is the Tiki Online Open Hours!

It is a unique opportunity to have a Tiki Specialist checking and helping on your specific issue or project for free.
