1. Introduction

TikiWiki CMS/Groupware is a vast project. It's tricky for new people to know how the TikiWiki Community is organized to find the right person to contact and to start to contribute. What may I expect from others within Tikiwiki Community and what do others expect from me? Who does what? Who should I talk to? How does it work? This page is intended to help.

Important: everyone is a volunteer. Things get done because someone like you decides to take the time to make it better.

Tiki is a free and open source software project. Anyone can join and participate without paying or officially joining anything. However, if you really like Tiki or are already a regular contributor or user, we strongly recommend you get Membership in the Tiki Software Community Association, an incorporated non-profit entity with the goal to benefit and support the ongoing work and development of the Tiki software community.

If you are new to open source, a good place to learn more about how open source software communities work is to read about it on Wikipedia

2. Community organization

2.1. What may I expect from others within Tikiwiki Community?

Community members do their best to follow TikiWiki Social Contract

2.2. What do others expect from me?

Others expect you to read understand and do your best to follow the Tikiwiki Social Contract.

In addition you are requested to follow these basic rules within Tikiwiki Community:

2.2.1. If you are not a developer

1. Use and improve the docs
   Verbose mode:
   1. Search the documentation first and read the FAQ before asking questions.
   2. When asking questions update the documentation when you get the answers.
      When answering questions please reference the docs/FAQs/etc. This will increase the visibility (and maybe overall usage) a valuable resource.
   3. Those who complain about the documentation update its pages to make it better.
2. Report bugs or feature enhancement requests
   Verbose mode:
   1. A bug only exists if it's reported in the bugtracker
   2. When in doubt file a bug report or request a feature/enhancement in the bugtracker
   3. If you can't code yourself your own enhancement ideas don't expect that your request will be implemented in short if ever. You might be interested in hiring a coder to do that for you if you think that things are getting done much more slowly than you would need/like.

2.2.2. If you are a developer

The traditional basic 3 rules for developers

1. Preserve Environment (see 3 rules for verbose mode)
2. Commit early Commit often (see 3 rules for verbose mode)
3. Make it Optional (see 3 rules for verbose mode)

3. Roles

3.1. Project Administrators

3.1.1. What

Admins are knowledgeable for all aspects of tikiwiki but each one has a special strength - even if they can do a little bit of everything.

The group is also known as TAG (Tiki Admin Group)

TAG provides general project direction and enhances coordination of initiatives. TikiWiki rarely needs to vote because decisions are usually consensual and it's a doOcracy. When a voted is required these are the people. This is the list on Sourceforge & Freshmeat. Admins are by default in security squad. Admins are voted in by other admins. Admins typically also participate in the Tiki Software Community Association as members of the Board of Directors.

Here is a SWOT analysis for TikiWiki. The whole community is invited to participated and it's the type of high-level stuff the Admin group should be particularly concerned with.

Tasks:

• Add/remove CVS/SVN access
• Anything that doesn't get done.
• Vote as a last resort

3.1.2. Who

• Marc Laporte
• Sylvie Gréverend - php developer, architect
• luciash d' being
• Oliver Hertel
• Xavier de Pedro - teacher, researcher and a bit of architect
• Gary Cunningham-Lee - theme integrator, designer, misc.
• Nelson Ko

Private discussion list:

3.2. Elders

3.2.1. What

Individuals who have provided outstanding contribution to the project (usually ex-admins which have become inactive or are still active but prefer not to be formally in the admin group) and are consulted for important decisions. A bit like Past presidents in some non profits.

3.2.2. Who

• mose
• Florian Gleixner?
• Luis Argerich (founder). You can learn more about him here and here
• Patrice Weber? (nyloth) File Gallery, Calendar, SVN, release management, etc. (most of the code really)

Elders can still be on the list

3.3. Security Squad

3.3.1. What

This is a trusted group with good technical skills that can help identify and solve security issues.

Security Squad members are added by vote by the Admins following recommendations of current members.

3.4. Developers

3.4.1. What

Developers in the sense of developing and improving TikiWiki. They could be people focusing on programming documentation support etc.

This is an open group. Anyone can join (just add your name to the list!). These people are or were very involved with TikiWiki. They can be good guides to get you participating in fixing or improving something in TikiWiki. If they don't know the answer they probably know who to ask for help.

Some ways for you to help:
http://dev.tikiwiki.org/How+to+get+CVS+commit+access
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/Welcome+Authors
http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-forums.php

Areas of interest/expertise
TikiWiki is a vast project and no one can realistically need all features. Thus some people are more specialized in certain areas. You can optionally add what your specific area of interest/expertise is.

What this does not mean:
These people are not gatekeepers. You don't have to ask permission to commit code or improve the documentation for example. We don't want any potential bottlenecks. It doesn't mean that these people are "responsible" to help you. They are volunteers just like you.

To reach "everyone":
tikiwiki-devel@lists.sourceforge.net.
