This document summarizes a presentation about the open source Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware. Tiki is described as an open source, wiki-based content management system (CMS) built with Apache, MySQL, and PHP. It can be used to build various types of websites and applications, including wikis, forums, blogs, galleries, and more. Key aspects of the Tiki model include an open community, collaborative development process, single codebase, and extensive testing of its own software ("dogfooding"). A demo of Tiki is provided along with Q&A and resources for further information.
