Welcome to TikiWiki

TikiWiki CMS/Groupware (external link) is a web-based application that you can use to build a website... any type of website that you want, for working collaboratively with others. The content management system at the heart of TikiWiki powers wikis, forums, blogs, map servers, and more. You can configure the various tools and customize the appearance of the website from Admin pages that are also web-based. This guide steps you through the basics for understanding TikiWiki.

Throughout this guide (and in the user community in general) we refer to TikiWiki CMS/Groupware as simply Tiki. This guide is intended for folks who are either new to Tiki as an administrator or new to wikis and CMS products in general. We hope to provide enough perspective and procedures to get you up and running with Tiki in a way that is quicker than if you had to figure out the software on your own with only the official documentation.

This version of the guide is based on Tiki version 4.x. In fact, this reference (the entire website) is built using Tiki. Complete information on Tiki can be found at the Tiki Community portal: http://www.tikiwiki.org (external link).
