Plugin RSS

October 9, 2025, marks 23 years of innovation, collaboration, and resilience for Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware. What began in 2002 as a vision by Luis Argerich to create a completely free, fully featured CMS has grown into one of the most robust, flexible, and community-driven Open Source platforms in the world.
🎉 The Tiki community is proud to announce the release of Tiki 29, the latest Standard Term Support (STS) version of Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware. This release brings a wide array of improvements, modernizations, and new features that continue to make Tiki one of the most comprehensive and flexible Open Source web applications available.
Tiki 29 will be supported until the release of Tiki 30.1, in accordance with the Tiki lifecycle policy.
🚀 Highlights for general users
Tiki 29 brings a wide range of enhancements and additions for general users and editors. For example, Summernote has been added as the new WYSIWYG editor, replacing CKEditor 4 for improved editing and styling capabilities. A new "Back to Top" button aids page navigation. Users can generate an avatar with DiceBear as an alternative to uploading their own profile picture. And there's a new option to enable all collapsible sections on a page to be collapsed or expanded with a single click.
Fourteen years ago, the Tiki community launched something bold: an interactive translation system that allowed contributors to translate the Tiki interface directly in context. It worked beautifully, supporting more than 40 languages, running on a dedicated server, and automatically committing translations to SVN. That first iteration showed how internationalization (i18n) could be made fun, accessible, and community-driven.
