TikiWiki is in the fifth year of its lifespan and already it helped to build up thousands of websites & Intranets. This confirms the point that Tiki is an extremely powerful application.

Loads of features and a large community of contributors characterize TikiWiki. As open source software, many programmers with different skill level have changed, modified, and improved the solution.

Over 250 people have contributed to Tiki via CVS. This is a proof of the software's scalability. It's developed by a large number of contributors from all over the world which forms the Tiki Community. Currently it boasts of 12379 registered users and 259 developers at this site.

No other Open Source projects boast of the contributions of as many contributors. Add to it countless others who have helped it improve by providing support in the areas of tech support, testing, documentation, etc. The huge contribution record proves that TikiWiki community provides a friendly platform for accessing to other people, sharing ideas among them and getting help wherever necessary. Most of the community members try to come up with the assistance that was asked from them.

Thus it is basically the supportive community that helped the software to be what it is today; a powerful wiki-based Content Management System (CMS), Groupware, Blogging System, Image/File Gallery, Bug Tracker and GeoCMS. Powered by PHP, ADOdb and Smarty and released as a Free Open Source Software under LGPL, it can be used to create all sorts of web applications, sites, portals, intranets and extranets.

TikiWiki community is a ragtag community of developers. It is not sponsored by a large business like other commercial projects. It is true that many Tiki developers have spun their own consultancy businesses around Tiki, still, decisions are made in the best interest of the community. Decisions are never guided by the narrow interests of individual business.

The TikiWiki community is always working in the direction of making Tiki more and more user-friendly. TikiWiki is not run on dedicated servers as root; the TikiWiki community claims to always consider the concerns of the users on a budget.
