What

  • Improve Tiki before releasing 1.9.8
  • Have fun
  • Saturday night party (for anyone interested in Free software & wikis, not just Tiki!)

Background

Remember the first time you installed Tiki? Remember how overwhelmed or even confused you were with all the features, options, etc? While Tiki is generally stable and has a ton of features, it is daunting for the new users (admins). Tiki 1.9.7 is much better than 1.9.0 in this respect. However, their is still plenty of low-hanging fruit to be picked.

When

June 9th & 10th 2007, and Tiki 1.9.8 to be released the following week-end


sylvie: Just to remind you - doing too many change to tiki1.9 will be hard to merge ;-). Now we get about 20 conflicts at each merge that have already being solved but this stupid CVS do not remember... So If the modifications are done in 1.9, what about the merge?
marclaporte: Yes Sylvie, we will be careful. Most changes I have in mind (ex.: adding tips in admin panel) should not cause merge issue. For the exceptions, we could do on HEAD at the same time. We could go over the list before we start to decide how to handle each. Thanks!
