TikiWiki as product CMS

posts: 130

We are configuring TikiWiki to work as kind of a internal intranet, and working towards using Drupal as our public side CMS (I work for a library).

The question has arisen whether or not we should just use TikiWiki for both the public and staff side. Any opinions on this? Could anybody post some good examples of tikiwiki being used as a CMS website for a company or organization?

My gut tells me that we should probably use TikiWiki as an internal intranet (wiki, forums, internal blogs) and Drupal should be our public face. Drupal seems to be "prettier" as far as layout and themes, and seems to be a little weak in wiki type tools....

Any opinions on this? Thanks for any input!

I may be biased smile but I think Tiki is also appropriate for the public site. Here are a few examples of company/organization use:

http://keycontent.org

And links on this page: http://fr.tikiwiki.org/tiki-directory_browse.php?parent=10

I agree that the default face of Tikiwiki is rather spartan, but you could check out the "aftermarket" themes available at themes.tw.o. And more are coming.

If layout/theme is the deciding factor, what Drupal style is the leading contender? If it's GPL-licensed, a Tiki version is probably possible in fairly short order and can be made freely available. In any case, it'd be easier to add a Drupal theme to Tiki than Tiki functionality to Drupal. wink
