PCWorld: "The use of e-mail may persist in corporations as a project collaboration tool to keep team members in the loop, but it's hardly the best route given individuals are often accidentally left off distribution lists, said a member of the open source TikiWiki Community.

"E-mail doesn't scale, it's not optimal, it's not efficient," said Marc Laporte, who is also the president of Avantech.net, a Montreal-based developer of collaborative TikiWiki-centric applications."

It is with great pleasure that the TikiWiki community releases TikiWiki CMS/Groupware 2.0

Tiki 2.0 (previously known as Tiki 1.10) is the next generation of TikiWiki. Special thanks to the countless people that made this release possible. TikiWiki is truly a community success. Over 80 people contributed 6894 commits (code changes) to the source code of version 2.0 and so many more to testing, documentation, bug reporting, etc.

TikiWiki 2.0 offers countless (really!) new features & enhancements.

On Monday, Packt Publishing announced the five finalists in each category of its 2007 Open Source Content Management System Award.  The five categories are Most Promising, Best PHP CMS, Best Other (Non-PHP) CMS, Best Social Networking CMS, and Overall Winner.  In the finals stage, the public as a whole is eligible to vote for each category through October 26th.  While that may seem like a long time for the polls to be open, I'd encourage you to vote early so that you have no excuse for why your favorite CMS didn't make it to the winners list.

Around this time last year, Packt Publishing announced the "top five" finalists for their award (no separate categories in 2006).  In 2006, those CMS projects that made it to the finalist list included Drupal, e107, Joomla, Plone, and Xoops.  When those five CMS were announced, I chose to double my efforts on covering those applications here at CMS Report.  Although the extra categories this year have brought quite a few more Open Source CMS into the foreground, I still don't see why I couldn't keep most of them on my CMS Focus radar scope.  With 16,000 people nominating their favorite CMS for this award, that amount of generated interest is hard to ignore.  Luckily, I already cover many of the CMS that did make it as a finalist...but there are still many new CMS on that list that will shake things up a bit here at CMSReport.com.

A new version of Tikiwiki has been released, Tikiwiki version 1.9.6. This version of Tikiwiki fixes the usual list of bugs and security vulnerabilities that come with the usual point releases. However, 1.9.6 also comes with some new features and enhancements including:

• Tracker: can choose export field type: visible/searchable/all
• added a notification when attachement is added to a watched wiki page

Those interested in Tikiwiki will want to check out the original wiki page that not only includes a list of the above features, but also a list of bug fixes and security enhancements. Tikiwiki 1.9.6 is available for download at SourceForge.net.

"Maybe you already found this domain [tikiwiki.org] partially unavailable this weekend. Some Russian hackers are attacking tiki installations currently, trying to install spam and/or DoS bots. We are working at it and hope to have solved the problems soon."
