History: Alternative to Google
Preview of version: 23
Google started out with indexing / organizing publicly accessible data. And later added all kinds of tools to manage organizational data. The main source of revenue is advertising.
Tiki Suite can be seen as a FLOSS self-hosted alternative to Google Apps.
Organizational data
- Gmail -> Kolab, including Roundcube or Thunderbird
- Calendar -> Kolab for appointments and Tiki Calendar for public events
- Docs -> Tiki Wiki with or without WYSIWYG
- Sheets -> Tiki Spreadsheet
- Slides -> Tiki Slideshow
- Drawings -> Tiki Draw
- Hangouts -> Otalk & Jitsi
- Voice -> FreeSWITCH and FusionPBX
- Drive -> Tiki File Gallery
- Sites -> Various feature in Tiki: Wiki, Blog, RSS, etc.
- Contacts -> Tiki Trackers can be configured as a CRM. But even better would be to integrate with Kolab to have better integration in mail system
- Apps Script -> For End user programming, use the existing feature set in Tiki. Especially Trackers. JavaScript and jQuery can be used in wiki pages. For more advanced use cases, you can use Tiki as Framework or even direct PHP & JavaScript.
