. I'm very much dissapointed with overall perfomance of tiki. Even to post here on these forums is a problem: It keeps losing replies. And if you want to joke about software - I've found "slow like tiki"...
Tiki is not a commercial product. It is the work of volunteers who are involved just because they enjoy working on and using Tiki. You should not expect the same experience as when you buy a product; then the maker has an obligation to satisfy you, as a buying customer. Tiki is a complex software product with thousands of lines of code — many, many manhours of work — and you and I and others are receiving it totally free of charge. Maybe the only "cost" is that we give useful feedback to help improve Tiki, or contribute in other ways if we can.
As for the "customers" working on problems here, it is important to understand the situation. When I was a Tiki newbie, I asked a lot of questions and more experienced people (other users as well as some developers taking time away from their coding) answered at least some of my questions. As I have gained experience with Tiki, I am now able to answer at least some questions posted by even newer people. This is how things work in an open-source collaborative project. People who want a company-customer relationship may want to look into commercial products instead, with their costs, benefits, guarantees, etc.
About these forums losing posts or whatever, keep in mind that this is a work in progress and is a test installation itself, so naturally there is a certain amount of bugs and other problems. Tiki page displays can be slow; this is being worked on, from what I hear, but naturally with so many things to check and so much data to present, Tiki will take longer than simpler web pages.
