TikiFest ends with achievements for TikiWiki team (1)

I dropped by (quickly) at the Tikifest 5 à 8 today.

The meetup gathered TikiWiki users, developers and the TikiWiki community, who gathered in Montreal for the Tikifest 2009 event.

The 5 à 8 was quite impressive, with a jolly crowd, a very good presentation by Marc Laporte, and the announcement of the beta version of Tikiwiki 3.0, which was produced during Tikifest.

So far, Tikiwiki has been downloaded 700.000 times, has 1000 options/features, and sees user contributions very frequently. Lots of good numbers; Marc Laporte wondered at one point at a php Québec codefest how come Drupal or Wordpress were ahead, but I think there’s nothing to be “jealous” about.

One thing which surprised me a lot, as an outsider, was how open the TikiWiki community was. There is a sense of welcome, openess, inclusive participation. It’s the sort of community any software project (or for that matter, a web startup who’d want to offer a “platform” and foster a development community) would want to take lessons from. Kudos to Marc, congrats to every member of Tikiwii.
