About the Tiki Documentation | ||||
|
Since the Tiki project started in 2002 there have been over 200 different developers working on over 50 separate releases (major & minor), creating hundreds of features, over 1000 preferences/settings, with over 1 million lines of code and 7500 wiki pages created in the tikiwiki.org domain. Needless to say, developing an authoritative documentation for this open source project is challenging. From the beginning until version 1.6, the Tiki documentation was a one-man effort. The 1.6 Documentation complete with 350 fully illustrated pages with screenshots provided the basis for what exists at doc.tiki.org today. Since that version, the Tiki project has chosen to eat its own dogfood. Not unlike a baby learning to feed itself, the results have been a little messy. We now have more than 2300 wiki pages on http://tikiwiki.org with several pictures and miscellaneous useful content. But as it's wide open to collaboration, it's sometimes also unsorted (or sorted in too many various different ways), and with an unpredictable degree of updating. Since the end of 2006, a new effort has been put from Tiki community to have another updated single file for printing (pdf) with all relevant Tiki documentation for 1.9 branch, relative to installation, configuration, features available and tuning process (see Table of contents). Some more pages relative to the new Tikiwiki 1.10.0 have been added already in http://doc.tiki.org. By the time of this writing, this pdf document contained more than 850 numbered and indexed pages, to ease your off-line reading of documentation either in paper or pdf format. Moreover, this allows you make easier and faster searches of information in such a broad amount of pages covering most aspects of Tiki.
