TikiWiki (http://tikiwiki.org) continues to be one of the most active projects on SourceForge, consistently ranking in the top 15 in terms of SVN code commits (http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/rank_history.php?group_id=64258&ugn=tikiwiki).

According to Ohloh.net, Tiki has "one of the largest open-source teams in the world, and is in the top 2% of all project teams on Ohloh." (http://www.ohloh.net/p/tikiwiki/factoids/). This diverse and extensive community effort has fueled more than 800,000 downloads (http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/detail.php?group_id=64258&ugn=tikiwiki&type=prdownload) plus countless one-click installations through control panel applications such as Fantastico.

TikiFests
This activity and growth comes on the heels of the recent TikiFest held in New York, NY, USA (http://tikiwiki.org/tikifest). TikiFests are a tradition of the TikiWiki community in which Tiki contributors who usually collaborate online, get an opportunity to meet in person. Future TikiFests are scheduled in Canada, Italy, Poland, Brazil, Germany, and the United States. Over 35 TikiFests have been held.

Long Term Support
While continuing to produce new major releases every six months (see http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Roadmap and http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Version+lifecycle), the development team continues to refine the Long Term Support (LTS) version. Tiki released version 3.4LTS in January which includes security updates and feature polishing.
