Topics
First hour, quick news
- Progress reports on new features in Tiki 25 (https://dev.tiki.org/Tiki25
)
- Quick report on usability improvements and concerns for Tiki as a knowledge base from people who use Tiki… as a wiki 😊
- Quick follow-up on February 2022 Roundtable meeting discussion about assigning a class or rating to themes. A preliminary theme quality and classification checklist is up at themes.t.o, and the next step will be to make a tracker based on that and start entering the relevant theme information.
- Working with new Tiki users/admins, I've found there's a lot of confusion about "site icon" and "site logo" — why two files needed and why two admin config locations. I'd like to propose that there be just one image that's used for all navbar-brand/site identity instances. This is standard practice these days as far as I know, with sites using image types that scale to suit the purpose. This can also be part of a mini-revamp to consolidate the site identity configuration that's now spread between module admin and look and feel admin. Any opinions?
- Sorry, -1 from me (luci). I disagree: there can be logo containing textual information which wouldn't scale properly to be readable as an icon. Icon is usually just a simplified version of the logo without many details such as text to display nicely and sharp in small sizes. Typical example is the Tiki logo containing "wiki cms groupware" vs the "tiki shape" only logo.
- Quick update about the Unified Admin Backend: various layout and theme compatibility fixes

Second hour, longer topics
- Provide fewer packages in composer.tiki.org
Our caching repo grows uncontrollably. Possible solutions:- We can remove dev packages from satis config and save space. I think this one is obviously a good idea.
- Some packages have way too many versions as files on the disk compared to the versions listed on composer.tiki.org - I think these are cached assets that probably disappeared later and are no longer supported. Do you think that we can do the following?
- clean up satis config from dev packages
- delete the whole directory holding packages on composer.tiki.org
- deploy and run satis again to download only the ones that are currently in use
I'd like to discuss consequences of doing the above - Merge strategy for the Kanban feature (https://doc.tiki.org/PluginKanban)
A lot of preliminary work went into making sure we can merge this into tiki 24. Unfortunately, there was some unexpected difficulties in the data model, requiring some refactoring. I kinda froze, affraid to violate the process for a point release.- As of now the feature in tiki 24 is non-functional, and was never meant to be announced.
- The functional work is in a feature branch based on 24, is functionnal, but is mising some refactoring to support more enumeratable fields. There are 3 options
- Merge as is, with very limited support for enumerable fields, and missing refactorings to make backporting fixes from tiki 25 realistic.
- Finish enumerable fields support and merge.
- Finish enumbarble fields support and minimal additions to Tiki apis to allow code simplification and future backports.
- I am willing to do the work, but don't want to go behind anyone's back, as this touches core parts of tiki, albeit with a very low risk of regressions.
