Happy Birthday, Tiki!

16 years ago it started:
Oct 7th 2002 - "Project founded" (first commit to the version control system, which was still CVS back then before we switched to SVN)
Oct 8th 2002 - Version 0.9 package released on Sourceforge.net
Oct 9th 2002 - Official announcement of the 0.9 release made

Since then, tons of features were added and a strong community was built. Today while we are working on Tiki19, countless organizations, corporations and individuals rely on the powerful features of Tiki!

"Happy Birthday, Tiki" and thanks to every user and/or contributor!

The Tiki community is proud to announce the opening of Tiki Online Open Hours Friday, the 5th of October, 2018, from 13:00 UTC to 15:00 UTC

You are warmly invited to a live two-hour session with a Tiki specialist who will be available to talk with you about Tiki, try to help you and answer your questions.
It is casual and open to everyone no matter if you are a developer, a webmaster or a user or just passing by.
Just prepare your favorite beverage, put on a headset (test before the meeting, please) and we’ll talk.

There are advantages in direct one-to-one and small group conversation and we want to explore this with you.
We will start at https://tiki.org/live on Friday, the 5th of October, 2018, from 13:00 UTC to 15:00 UTC.
Visit this link to have the time converted to your local time: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Tiki+Online+Open+Hours&iso=20181005T13&p1=1440&ah=2.

Ideally, we want to have a Tiki Online Open Hours session every week, but we are in new territory here and there are a lot of options (open to everyone together, one-on-one discussions, by appointment, and so on).
We will adjust and keep improving. . . . This is the wiki way, and the Tiki way!

As requirement prior for those meeting, please, find a quiet place and use a headset, test before the meeting, prepare your question, organize with a demo or screenshot.
During the meeting, please, be respectful and patient with other participants, don't monopolize the time and attention of the facilitator.

Please find more details at : https://tiki.org/Tiki-Online-Open-Hours

I’ll be the facilitator for the next sessions and I’ll be waiting for you this Friday !

We, the Tiki community, warmly encourage current Tiki users to update to - and new users to try out - Tiki 18.1 and benefit from the new features, options and fixes. Thanks to the hundreds of reports and wishes submitted by Tiki testers and community members, the changes from 15 to 18 have been impressive and this update continues that trend. This is another occasion to remind you that updating your site regularly will ease your own update and maintenance process as well as keep your site as secure as possible.

This is also the time to say goodbye to Tiki 17, which has come to the end of its support period and won’t be further upgraded.

The security team would like to give thanks and credit to Pranav Digambar Jagtap @pranavH4x0r, chbi of https://chbi.eu, Karim of ripstech.com and Omar Kurt of netsparker.com for their security reports and help to make Tiki a safer application.

If you like Tiki and find it useful, we invite you to join the Tiki community and to help fund our open source project.

Tiki 18, originally scheduled for an December 2017 release but pushed back for extra fixes and enhancements, brings a number of significant new features including a Composer web installer, integration of better GUI (drag and drop interface), a new Style-Guide tool, a major upgrade of the external libraries for H5P, the open source platform for creating rich HTML5 content, and many improvements around trackers, wiki plugins and the system admins tools (for detailed info and list, visit: https://doc.tiki.org/tiki18).

For the most polished and feature-complete Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware experience, an upgrade to Tiki 18.0 or new installation as a first Tiki website is highly recommended!

On October 8, Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware marked 15 years of continuous development. Many thanks to everyone who has contributed to the project over the years by coding and bug-fixing, creating and hosting websites, and providing great feedback for further improvement.

Happy Birthday, Tiki!

Tiki 17, originally scheduled for an April 2017 release but pushed back for extra fixes and enhancements, brings a number of significant new features including support for modern favicons, password blacklists, and a new method for annotations.

New external libraries integrated as features include H5P, the open source platform for creating, sharing, and reusing interactive HTML5 content; and CasperJS, a browser navigation scripting and testing utility written in JavaScript for PhantomJS or SlimerJS. (Correction: A previous version of this article stated that Exposé IDS (intrusion detection system) is a new feature in Tiki 17. This feature will debut in Tiki 18. Sorry about any confusion.)

Feature advancements include a massive improvement in PDF generation via mPDF, tracker additions and enhancements including a more versatile user selector field type, typography enhancements based on PHP SmartyPants, and a number of new wiki plugins.
