For Devs:

TikiWiki comes as is, bundled with some external applications and many media files - especially Smarty too.

But GentooLinux has a separate ebuild for Smarty, and hence there would be an ample opportunity separating TikiWiki from external apps, so that bare Tiki can fit in with less redundancy in any System. CVS dev. versions of Tiki already check-out separate from Smarty...

Hence, for now, the TikiReleaseGentooLinux focuses on this separation of TikiWiki in InstallTikiGentoo from internal Smarty.

Primary objective for now is the achievement of the use of external Smarty libs - (Gentoo ebuild based) with Tiki.

Secondary objective is the externalisation of media files included in TikiWiki into TikiMediaReleaseGentooLinux (e.g.: avatar images).

Tertienary objective is the use of TikiGamesGentooLinux ebuild for the easy install of TikiGames.

Fourth objective is the externalisation of TikiStyles into separate TikiStyleReleaseGentooLinux ebuilds, so that themes and templates are easily installed and extended...

Finally, the most community-extending aspect of this project is the TikiLanguageReleasesGentooLinux in line tiwh TikiProfilesDev, so that all kind of languages and cultures easily benefit from TikiWiki.

Hey, Gentoo fellows! Add your name here!

This is where new features being developed and only in CVS are documented. When the CVS becomes RC/official release, the info in the CVS docs is transferred to update the official docs (FeatureXDoc).

For a start the ebuild is going to use CVS checkout of Tiki for installing a bare 1.8 Tiki version, and patching it for the use of external Gentoo-Smarty.

Where ideas can be exchanged, debated, etc. Interested people can subscribe to the wiki page and/or to these forums as they would a mailing list.
