| I am... | More about me | Why is Tiki good for me? | How can I contribute? |
| Power-user | I am really good at testing, configuring, finding bugs, etc | Tiki has arguably more features out of the box than any other web application. Configure your Tiki to your liking through a point & click GUI. | participate in forums on www.tikiwiki.org/forums, bug reports & RFEs on dev.tikiwiki.org |
| Programmer / coder | I want to code as little as possible and I want to be able to contribute my code so I don't have to manage a local fork. | Tiki is a full fledged Wiki/ CMS / Groupware. But it can also be used as a framework to build additional functionality. Tiki includes a workflow engine | Tiki has a very open development philosophy. You can add features as long as you make them optional dev.tikiwiki.org workflow.tikiwiki.org |
| I have legacy data | I want to reuse content from another DB http://tikiwiki.org/PluginSql | ||
| Writer / Content manager | Content is king! | Tiki CMS/Groupware is based on a wiki. It is the ideal platform for group collaboration on documents. It is multilingual. | doc.tikiwiki.org |
| Marketing department | But sex sells | please see next question | |
| Graphic artist / theme designer | I am really good with css & html but I am allergic to PHP | Tiki has a very flexible template system. You can do an amazing quantity of thing without ever changing a single line of php code. Thanks to the theme control center, you can assign a different theme to different parts of your site. | themes.tikiwiki.org |
| A Flash dude | It's gotta move man! | You have Flash in the design or integrate Flash in pages, but Tiki is not suitable for "full flash" sites. | |
| IT manager | I am looking for a good overall solution for a web app. I am planning ahead because now, my staff is asking for a wiki, but I know that later, they are are gonna want more. I don't want to be limited down the road. | Tiki is a very active project. Hundreds of people have contributed. On one side, it is mature and stable in version 2.x, a lot of exciting new features are in development in SVN | |
| Information architect | I dream about ontologies & tags | With categories, you can create a basic document workflow. With structures, you can create a book from a collection of wiki pages. Semantic links and Mind Mapping coming in 3.0! | |
| Researcher | Tiki is a great knowledge management tool. (+ see Information Architect) | ||
| Intranet manager | I dream of ACLs. I need a powerful & flexible permission system | Tiki has 180 different permissions you can set to any group. Groups can be included in groups (and inherit permissions). Just about any item in Tiki can have individual permissions which override global permissions. And, to make management easier, Tiki also offers category permissions. | |
| Sysadmin/Web host | I am worried about complex updates and security issues. Apt-get is my friend | Why install 2, 3 or 4 Web apps when Tiki can handle these needs? One application to manage instead of inconsistent logins & permissions throughout different systems. Tiki offers TRIM, MultiTiki & InterTiki. Many authentication options (LDAP, CAS, etc). Tiki runs on standard php/mysql. Many database options via the ADOdb abstraction layer. You can easily export & reuse data, if need be. Tiki works in safe mode. Tiki works with Register Globals off. Only modification to php is memory limit from 8 megs to 16 megs. | dev.tikiwiki.org |
| Wiki fanatic | I want to find the most amazing wiki out there | TikiWiki is certainly one of the most powerful wikis available. If you find a feature in another wiki which is not offered by TikiWiki, please email Marc Laporte, Project admin at marclaporte @ php.net | |
| A web design shop | We do all kinds of web projects. Mostly web sites but sometimes some Intranets | With Tiki, you can manage several different types of projects, all with the same back-end. | |
| Lawyer | The GPL makes me nervous | Tiki is licensed LGPL, therefore it can be included in commercial apps and sold. Tiki is free as in free speech. | |
| Rich philanthropist | I want to help | Tiki is free as in free beer. Tiki got this far with a budget of 0, but money would help to cover travel expenses for contributors. |
