The next major version of TikiWiki CMS/Groupware is now undergoing beta testing in preparation for release. The current version being tested is Beta 1. If you want to help with beta testing, check out Branch110Beta for more information, or read what's new in Tikiwiki 1.10. Thanks to all who helped to test, debug, document, and package and in the days prior to the beta release and thanks in advance to all doing further testing and documentation. This is a real community wide effort.

TikiWiki has been named to the Seventh Annual EContent 100. The annual list contains the companies "that matter most in the digital content industry."

The wealth of new features and enhancements contained in the upcoming Release 1.10 will no doubt maintain Tiki's position as one of the best digital content and social media platforms.

Read the complete 2007 EContent 100 List.

For some days we have been working on fixing security flaws reported by third party analysts. As always in such case, release is quickly prepared and holes filled.

As this upgrade fixes various security holes, you are strongly advised to upgrade any 1.9.x tiki (or earlier) that you have at hand, and call your friends to spread the word.

1.9.9 also introduces a new feature to alert admin of available new releases upstream.

Do you want to help improve Tiki's "public face"? We are looking for motivated and creative folks that can help:

• Publicize TikiWiki
• Create a tagline, banners, buttons, and other marketing material
• Maintain Tiki's public listings (on places like OpenSourceCMS)
• And more!

See http://dev.tikiwiki.org/PromoSquad for more information.

There has been some "Tikiwiki movement" last days at Wikisym 2007 conference in Montreal, Canada (http://www.wikisym.org)

Some more information will come soon (it just finished yesterday evening), but in the mean time, here is a copy of the presentation of the paper accepted to the congress about TikiWiki usage in education.
See the tiki-slideshow (or see the wiki page where the slides come from)

A security flaw has been found in one file, you should consider upgrading immediately, get the new 1.9.8.1 version on Sourceforge or update your CVS if you use it !

Finally we released TikiWiki 1.9.8 with more than 1000 CVS commits (code changes).

The release contains security fixes, so update from previous versions is strongly recommended.

You can download the files here: Sourceforge.

"Need a CMS system? TikiWiki takes the wiki one giant step further. Jack Wallen gives a primer on this flexible system."

"I've covered a lot of CMS systems, but none of those systems had me as wide-eyed as TikiWiki. Why? This system has a plethora of options and tools. There is so much here that, upon installation, I wasn't exactly sure where to start first. It's almost too much, but not too much to be useful. You'll probably never use 100 percent of TikiWiki's offerings; just choosing the features you'll stick with will take you a while."

"TikiWiki is enormous. There is so much to do within the confines of this system that covering it as a whole would require a book. But fear not, we'll dig deeper into this outstanding CMS system."

"The more I use TikiWiki, the more impressed I am. I have found this system to be one of the more flexible systems available for Content Management. Even though it falls within the framework of a wiki, it can easily act as a more standard Web site."

Nominations are now being accepted (through August 31 ) for the 2007 Open Source CMS Awards. You can nominate Tiki in these categories:

• Overall Winner, Open Source CMS Award
• Best Open Source PHP Content Management System
