History: FLOSS Web Application with the most built-in features

Tiki is the FOSS Web Application with the most built-in features

• FOSS -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_and_open_source_software
• Web Application -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application
• most built-in features: Some other FOSS Web apps may have more features when you count all the extensions. However, the Tiki model is to have all-in-one for better integration and easier upgrades.

This means that you can turn every single feature on and it's going to work. You will have a dizzying number of elements in the menu but everything works. Now, in a core & extension architecture, try activating every single extension and you'll likely break your system because of conflicts between extensions!

Since when? Perhaps 2005 or 2006? There is no formal way to count features (an option of a feature counts, right?) But in any case, all other major FOSS Web apps (in recent years) such as WordPress, Joomla!, Plone, Drupal or Typo3 have the small core and thousands of extensions model.

Is having so many features a good thing? Well, certainly if you need a lot of features or you want to have them readily available if/when you need them in the future. It's also nice to be able to address diverse use cases.

There is also a great deal of Interaction with other applications and services.
