Tiki Wiki
Overview
 Tiki CMS/Groupware (aka
TikiWiki) is a powerful open-source Content Management
System (CMS) that can be used to create all sorts of Web
applications, Sites, Portals, Intranets and Extranets. It is
an all encompassing Web-based collaboration tool; a
multi-purpose package with a lot of native options and
sections that you can enable/disable as your purposes
demand. It is designed to be international, clean and
extensible. TikiWiki incorporates all the features
standardized among several excellent wiki systems available
today, plus a lot of new features and options. Its open
structure allows your wiki application to be whatever you
want it to be -- from a simple wiki to a complex site for a
whole user community with many intermediate steps. You can
use TikiWiki as a forums site, a chatroom, a tool for taking
surveys, and much more! The possibilities are endless.
To understand TikiWiki, compare it to a high-end single-lens
reflex (SLR) camera with lots of expensive lenses. In a
well-thought-out SLR camera system, each of the lenses gives
you the ability to look at the world in a unique way. You
can choose just the right lens for the job. Similarly, Tiki
gives you lots of different ways to look at the data
describing a group of people. Use Articles (and make
articles your Tiki home page) so that you and your users can
post important, fast-breaking news that everyone should
read. Use Wiki pages to enable you and your users to upload
reams of content without having to learn HTML or hassle with
proprietary file formats. Use Forums to launch
topic-oriented discussions. Use Blogs to give each user the
ability to create chronologically-oriented journals. Make
vital resources available with File and Image Galleries.
TikiWiki's major features include: article, forum,
newsletter, blog, file/image gallery, wiki, drawing,
tracker, directory, poll/survey, quiz, FAQ, chat, banner,
webmail, calendar, category, ACL, and more (see full list in
Features, immediately below).
