Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware or simply Tiki, originally known as TikiWiki, is a free and open source Wiki-based content management system and online office suite written primarily in PHP and distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL-2.1-only) license. Tiki Fact Sheet In addition to enabling and Web portal on the internet and on and , Tiki contains a number of collaboration features allowing it to operate as a Geospatial Content Management System (GeoCMS) and Groupware web application.
Tiki includes all the basic features common to most CMSs such as the ability to register and maintain individual user accounts within a flexible and rich permission / privilege system, create and manage menus, RSS-feeds, customize page layout, perform logging, and administer the system. All administration tasks are accomplished through a browser-based user interface.
Tiki features an all-in-one design, as opposed to a core+extensions model followed by other CMSs. This allows for future-proof upgrades (since all features are released together), but has the drawback of an extremely large codebase (more than 1,000,000 lines).
Tiki can run on any computing platform that supports both a web server capable of running PHP 5 (including Apache HTTP Server, IIS, Lighttpd, Hiawatha, Cherokee, and nginx) and a MySQL/MariaDB database to store content and settings.
In addition, Tiki allows each user to choose from various visual themes. These themes are implemented using CSS and the open source Smarty template engine. Additional themes can be created by a Tiki administrator for branding or customization as well.
Tiki also supports interactive translation of actual wiki pages and was the initial wiki engine used in the Cross Lingual Wiki Engine Project. Cross Lingual Wiki Engine ProjectLouis-Philippe Huberdeau, Sébastien Paquet, and Alain Désilets, “The Cross-Lingual Wiki Engine: enabling collaboration across language barriers,” in Proceedings of the 4th International Symposium on Wikis (Porto, Portugal: ACM, 2008), 1-14, http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1822258.1822276&coll=ACM&dl=ACM&type=series&idx=SERIES11299&part=series&WantType=Proceedings&title=WikiSym This allows Tiki-based web sites to have translated content — not just the user interface.
