Philosophy
  • We eat our own "DogFood" -> this presentation is in Tiki

Community
Why Tiki?

Fight back against "Frankensite". Typical:

  • Postnuke CMS + 1-2 modules (ex. Calendar)
  • Gallery for pics
  • phpwiki for wiki
  • phpBB for forums

Problems:

  • Different look & feel, different User Interfaces (UI)
  • Different logins
  • Many applications to manage
Tiki the chameleon
  • Smarty template engine & CSS for easy configuration of look & feel. Theme control center

Examples:
