Information architect
Me: I dream about ontologies & tags
Tiki has a ton of goodies for you. 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.
1.2. Intranet manager
Me: I dream of ACLs. I need a powerful & flexible permission system
Tiki has 200+ 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.
1.3. Philanthropist
Me: 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 for TikiFests.
1.4. Researcher
Me: I am doing my PhD and I would like some people to review my work.
Tiki is a great knowledge management tool. (+ see Information Architect)
1.5. Wiki fan
Me: I want to find the most amazing wiki out there
Tiki is certainly one of the most powerful wikis available. If you find a feature in another wiki which is not offered by Tiki, please contact Marc Laporte, Please also read Why Wiki Syntax is Important.
