TikiFest is a tradition in the TikiWiki community. A TikiFest is when there is a meeting between at least 2 TikiWiki contributors that don't meet usually. This is an occasion usually for drinking adult beverages, getting laptops out and coding wildly in group sessions, discussing 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 😀

Performance (nkoth for Moz)

Low hanging fruits for Yslow? incremental things can be done - js compressing, css.
Merge Mozilla patches.

Tiki Core Project (nyloth)

• TikiCore

Priority is to re-organize core libs like tikilib.php. This will be done in a way that is backward compatible at first, i.e. the current libs will remain a wrapper for the new lib/core/lib.php. The aim is to provide a more stable, more readable, and better documented core. It should also make the creation of a lightweight API to these functions easily (the lightweight API will be gradually incrementally added on a needs-basis -> the aim is not to architecture a framework but to really focus on making our lives or way of calling these libs easier -> i.e. incremental approach vs. design and build approach).

Reminder: main scripts should not call sql directly.

Unit tests for TikiCore

We need tests - figure out a way to do this at the same time we do this TIkiCore. new TikiCore should be progressively introduced to ensure proper testing framework in in first.

• Documented API

Document existing API first --- light API around it will be nice to have.

2. Discuss on the current state of Tiki
3. Long term vision & goals
4. Community organization
   1. Day to day tools
5. Dev topics & demos
   1. Smarty functions and blocks to be used in every templates (nyloth)
   2. propagate smarty plugins
   3. Category permissions (what should it do?, what is a bug?)
   4. Revamp perms (and especially for category perms) + perms through tikiobjects discussion
