Tiki Suite is mostly a server solution so users should be able to do almost everything via 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 (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
• User enters credential in client app, and any relevant data is synched

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)

Syncthing

Syncthing -> For now, focusing on P2P file sync, but soon-ish, we'll add the ClearOS server as a central node.

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.

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

Firefox

OpenVPN client
