About the Tiki Project

Tiki has been actively developed since 2002, making it a very mature open source Wiki-CMS-Groupware solution. More than 200 people have contributed source code to the Tiki project¹. This makes Tiki one of the largest open source teams in the world.²

We Eat Dogfood

Our own dogfood, that is. We use Tiki to develop Tiki. For example:

Tiki Trackers are used to record feature requests and bug reports.
Tiki Forums are used by the community for discussions and troubleshooting.
Tiki Wiki pages and structures are used to develop end-user and developer documentation.

All of this dogfood results in tightly integrated, well tested features.

We Have A Huge Install Base

Tiki has been downloaded more than 950,000 times³ and is used to power a huge number of web sites and Intranets.⁴ Tiki is also available as a one-click install from many popular control panel applications such as Fantastico⁵, script managers such as SimpleScripts⁶, remote installers such as Installatron,⁷ and virtual appliances such as JumpBox⁸. In 2010, Tiki was added to the Windows Web App Gallery,⁹ giving millions of Windows users easier access to Tiki.

We Win Awards and Recognition

Tiki is constantly recognized as a leading open source application. Tiki was selected as a mentoring organization for the 2009 Google Summer of Code¹⁰ and was one of only a handful of community-driven, open source projects to be listed in the Seventh Annual EContent 100¹¹ — a selection of organizations "that matter most in the digital content industry."

Tiki has also been nominated as the Most Collaborative Project for the SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards¹² and was named SourceForge Project of the Month.¹³

Tiki was named Best Web Application by OSDir Editors¹⁴ and consistently ranks in its listing of Top 10 Applications.¹⁵ InfoWorld awarded Tiki a 2010 BOSSIE (Best of Open Source Software) in the applications category¹⁶, and in 2011 Tiki was named to CMS Report's Top 30 Web Applications.¹⁷

In addition to these awards, Tiki is listed as a recommended productivity tool by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization¹⁸ and is included in the Open Source CMS Market Share Report's list of Top 20 Open Source CMS.¹⁹

We Actively Develop

With a code commit every two hours²⁰ (on average), Tiki undergoes continuous improvement and is always moving forward. As new technologies are introduced (such as mobile applications, AJAX, folksonomy, and others) we work to add them to Tiki.
