"Smarties" is now running the latest Tiki 5.x (straight from SVN). If you haven't upgraded yet, I highly recommend it — version 5 is the slickest Tiki yet!

I'm still tweaking things, so there may be some "weirdness" for the next several days. If you see anything odd, please let me know.

Oh, and be sure to check out Tiki Essentials — I'm planning to "publish" it in early July.

Tiki Essentials has progressed to an open Beta. Content is still very much in progress, but I'd love to hear what you think.

In case you haven't heard the news, I've begun work on my next Tiki book: Tiki Essentials. Unlike Smarties, this will be a collection of specific tips and tricks that I've picked up through the years.

As before, this will be created using Tiki (and, by the way, Tiki 5 is awesome — I highly recommend checking it out!), be a multilingual collaborative effort, and be released under a Creative Commons license.

Here's a "sneak peak" of what (I hope) will be inside:

I just updated the Smarties version on Scribd. This edition has more than 525 pages... including some new information for Tiki 5.0.

This is also the "cleanest" looking PDF to-date... I'm really starting to get the process "down pat" on converting a Tiki structure into a PDF. Two open issues that I'd like to resolve:

• Generating non-English PDFs
• Generating Tiki version-specfic PDFs

If you're a Tiki-developer, maybe you can help?

I'll be adding more and more 5.0 content (and upgrading the Smarties site too) in the upcoming weeks.

I hope that you are enjoying TikiWiki for DummiesSmarties and find it useful. Don't forget to become a Facebook fan and follow me on Twitter.

Smarties has been updated to the newly released Tiki 4.2. This upgrade (or 3.5 if you're using the LTS route) is strongly recommended. See http://info.tikiwiki.org/article86-Tiki-Announces-3-5-and-4-2-Releases for details.

I think (hope!) that I have migrated all my customizations to this new version. If you find anything missing or broken, please let me know.

Thanks to Scribd, you can now take Smarties with you on your favorite mobile device (Kindle, Nook, iPhone, etc.).


Just click the Mobile button and select your device.


Pretty cool, eh?

I've been trying to keep Smarties up-to-date with the latest development code. I recently completed an upgrade to the latest 4.x code, directly from SVN. This includes many updates and fixes that will be included in the upcoming 4.2 release.

Please let me know if you find any problems.

Thanks!

In addition to Twitter and Facebook, Smarties is now using Google Friend Connect. You can use the Social Bar at the bottom of the page to become a "friend" or leave a comment.

Smarties is now running the latest version of Tik — 4.x. I'll be fine-tuning things over the next few days. Please Contact Us let me know if you find any issues.
