A tradition in the Tiki community, a TikiFest is when there is a meeting between at least two Tiki contributors that don't usually meet. This is an opportunity, usually, to drink adult beverages, get some laptops out and code wildly in group sessions and/or discuss about wiki technology and culture, etc. depending the mood and context. It is a great opportunity for Tiki users and Tiki power users to meet some of the developers and learn more stuff 😊
Confirmed: Monday August 20th to Sunday August 26th 2012 (7 days)
Just after is WikiSym 2012 - August 27-28-29
Barcelona (Catalonia, Spain).
Some improvements are needed for Workspaces and specific Tiki features to allow Tiki to be used more easily in small organic groups, without requiring admin intervention.
One use case where workspaces are needed are Barter Networks, such as the ones in the Catalan Countries, as seen on http://intercanvis.net/Xarxes (in Catalan only so far)
Another use case is wiki farm hosting. So users self-register, start their wiki, be fully autonomous for modules, menus, pages, permissions, etc. Users from farm A can only see farm B if farm A manager configures it so. Optionally, each farm can have distinct theme and domain name
4 main topics:
Calendar and tracker improvements to manage resource bookings wish1746
Workspaces UI
Community Currencies & Barter Networks: CClite integration http://doc.tiki.org/cc
Improve *.tiki.org (better bug tracking, code review at http://code.tiki.org, etc.)
Specifically, we need to have improvements to a few features, at least, so that Barter Networks on Tiki sites can use tiki features more like in autonomous workspaces-areas. These comprise:
Taks done prior to, or during the TikiFest (and work-in-progress things in beta state already, at least)
Some of those are specially suited to non-devs willing to join the Fest and help with their non-coding skills, etc.
"Low hanging fruit" for Tiki9:
Basic use cases
members
Revise these configuration Profiles, and eventually update to work with Tiki9
Produce some draft video tutorial or screencasts while using some barter or workspace-related features in Tiki9.
to be written here as they happen...
TikiHouse
The Tiki house is offered for free to developers willing to attend and improve those features cited above. There is specific funded project (that Xavi knows of, at the time of this writing), so that developers attending can use some days as holidays in a sunny touristic place such as Barcelona (and in a house at 10min on foot from the beach! 😊 ) in exchange for their participation. So what about half the week on holidays, and half the week coding? (Dogfooding Barter!: doing barter (accomodation in exchange of coding) to develop features to enhance Barter Networks using Tiki and CClite.
Since we might be many people attending these days in that TikiHouse (such a success! 😀 ), we might need some extra sleeping mattresses, etc. (Xavi can provide some).
