WhoWhatWhen
marclaporteAbout activity level: Since early 2011 (For Tiki7), we have been on a very ambitious phase of development and revamps. The code base has been modernized in many places and we made several important/structural changes for the long-term. ex.: http://info.tiki.org/Version+Lifecycle and of course, a large number of new features.
For example, one of the most advanced and important features in Tiki is called Trackers: http://doc.tiki.org/Trackers
[00:01]
and since Tiki is the http://tiki.org/FOSS+Web+Application+with+the+most+built-in+features, we are running out of completely new features to add [00:05]
Ultimately, this is what I'd like to see: http://tiki.org/Evolution+of+participation [00:07]
manmi: I don't see anything at http://test.glassdoc.org/ [00:13]
back to activity level: Tiki is not only the http://tiki.org/FOSS+Web+Application+with+the+most+built-in+features but no other major CMS / Web app has released more major versions in the last 4 years
2009-05: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki3 LTS
2009-11: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki4
2010-06: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki5
2010-11: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki6 LTS
2011-06: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki7
2011-11: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki8
2012-06: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki9 LTS
2012-12: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki10 (just before the holidays)
To be fair, WordPress also had 8 major releases during the same approximative time frame http://wordpress.org/about/roadmap/
[00:33]
Some apps like Typo3 and Joomla! have now moved to a 6-month release cycle, but we have been doing for a longer period. But in all these cases, with their extension-based model, not all features are ready at the same time. And sometimes, extensions are never ported to the next version. Thanks to the Tiki model, we have inherent synchronized releases http://tiki.org/Model#Inherent_synchronized_releases [00:42]
I think some are OK with a slow (2-3 years cycle) because of the focus on building nice looking public websites (with lots of work on design but with quite basic functionality), and it's more normal to upgrade / change the look of your web site every few years. And we have extended our LTS period to make it better for this type of project, with 3.5 years of support for an LTS version: http://info.tiki.org/Version+Lifecycle [01:59]
pedor: it would make a nice profile: http://profiles.tiki.org [21:47]
