TikiWiki CMS/Groupware

General
Development
Edit

A full-featured, web-based, multilingual, tightly integrated, all-in-one Wiki+CMS+Groupware, using PHP, ADOdb, Zend Framework, jQuery and Smarty. Can be used to create all sorts of Web applications, sites, portals, knowledge bases, intranets, and extranets.

Tiki offers a very large number of features "out-of-the-box", arguably more than any other Open Source Web Application. Highly configurable & modular, all the features are optional and administered via a web-based interface.

Major features include articles, forums, newsletters, blogs, a file/image gallery, a wiki, bug & issue tracker (form generator), a calendar, RSS feeds, a category system, tags, an advanced permission system and more.

Why I am a developer on Tikiwiki?

  by Franck

I'm a developer on Tikiwiki. I did mainly the Maps part. It is now extended with google maps, ka-map and cartoweb integration.

Why did I choose Tikiwiki? Because the developing community is vribant and very open. It takes 5mn to become a developer and start contribute code.

Sure you are watched by your pairs, and you get comments about your code, but where else can you become part of such project?

You don't need to ... [More] contribute patches, modules, you just start to hack the code base. Never seen something like that.

Also, no foundation, no commercial company is behind tikiwiki, only volunteers from around the world.

While Tikiwiki is a big software, is main advantage is that everything integrates with everything with the same quality level.

It is a little bit the grand daddy of all CMS, but it gets rejuvenated at each development cycle.

Also, the developers takes security seriously, still some improvements are needed on this front, but you rest assure to fast response to security threats.

Finally, Tikiwiki is truly multi-lingual.

A response to kozuch82 below

  by marclaporte

Hello kozuch82,

I am saddened that you take the time to say only negative things. You are of course entitled to your opinion, but many people will come to this page to evaluate if they want to use TikiWiki. Your comments can IMHO, turn away some potential users that would have been very happy with TikiWiki.

TikiWiki is the collective work of hundreds of people over 5 years, and used for tens of thousands of sites. I have a very ... [More] different outlook than you and will comment the words you used.

"Dead" -> TikiWiki is far from dead. In fact, it's thriving. There is a code commit via CVS every two hours on average.

"Bloated" -> TikiWiki is full-featured. It has most features built-in whereas other on CMS systems, you have to download & install third party add-ons, which may or not be supported.

"not modular" -> Tiki has a tight integration of all its features. That's one of the reasons it's so powerful.

There are various schools of thought about modularity. It is not a magic bullet.

"In later discussions Torvalds explained the reasons for its choice: a fully modular architecture, like the one adopted for HURD, would have posed problems to a degree of complexity that it could have compromised the accomplishment of the project. To avoid such risks and keep the degree of complexity of the project as low as possible, Torvalds decided to design a monolith and he actually wrote all the architectural specs himself, avoiding all the problems related to collective projects (e.g. division of labor, coordination, communication). On the other hand, the HURD micro–kernel, a project in direct competition with the Linux kernel, has paid for the choice of pursuing a fully modular approach from the beginning in terms of the continuous delays that have plagued its development. Nowadays, it is still under active development and still lacks the stability and performance assured by the Linux kernel."

I would have preferred to read a more balanced judgment. Ex.: TikiWiki can be useful for this type of project or this type of user, but for this other type of user or project, it's better to use Bitweaver.

Of course, TikiWiki is not perfect. Like many tools, it's very useful for some people and not so useful for others.
