Preview of version: 2

A software project profile is a high priority as it could help attract programmers to our project.

As an example, let's look at the Open Moko project, which uses several applications to manage its community.

  1. MediaWiki for main site
  2. Not one but two instances of Trac for bug tracking, and more
  3. Planet for RSS aggregation
  4. Gforge for project management
  5. Mailman for the mailing lists/forums

They appear to have used the "best of breed" strategy when picking applications. More about this at http://marclaporte.com/TikiSucks

However, now, it must be quite a challenge to integrate these various applications. Pretty much all this functionality could have been handled by a single application like TikiWiki.

The following profile is to meet this use case.


The "bad"
  • not everything is done exactly the same.
    • Tiki forums are not the same as mailman mailing lists.
  • not all features are necesarily as advanced.
  • Some feature are just missing. For example, TikiWiki doesn't offer the svn browser feature that Trac does.

The "good"
  • Tiki does have features that they may want.
    • For example, blogs and news articles. It would be even worse if they installed a WordPress blog on top of what they have.
    • Surveys
    • Etc.
  • Tiki would offer
    • Single Sign On (single user system, groups & permissions)
    • Global search engine
    • Consistant look & feel


In this profile, we need
    • Wiki
    • Forums with mailing list integration
    • bug tracker
    • RSS aggregator
    • etc
