Tiki Suite is (mostly) a server solution so users should only need a modern browser. However, there are some times where the browser is not (yet) ideal, and client software should be recommended. Ideally, this client software is

• available in a portable mode, such as PortableApps.com. See also: Zero Install
  • This means there is no "installation". The user can just use a USB key/portable disk.
• Cross-platform
• FLOSS
• Can start up and log in when user boots up computer

We'll be looking for both desktop apps and mobile apps, with F-Droid.

To find out how components are selected, please see: selection criteria. If you have some ideas, please do share them.

Server

They are split on several servers to ease management (BigBlueButton and Kaltura especially)

Client

Adding a new client or re-installing a client should become quick & painless. So moving more towards cattle in the pets vs cattle analogy. Software should be easy to install / move / backup simply by moving the files, as we do with data files.

Zero Install is envisaged to become the desktop app manager for Windows, Gnu/Linux and Mac OSX. However, until all the apps are ported, you can install them manually. If you are on Windows, PortableApps.com is recommended for ease of maintainance.

For Android, you can get apps from F-Droid.

Firefox

Thunderbird

KeePass

OpenVPN client

OpenVPN is part of ClearOS.

Ind.ie Pulse (previously known as Syncthing)-> For now, focusing on P2P file sync, but soon-ish, we'll add the ClearOS server as a central node.

Desktop & virtualization
