Tiki Wiki

[DG9]

Anyone play around with this?  Opinions?  I just ran across it, looks like it came out back in 2003.  Don't want to put time into a fossil, but it looks like I may have some uses for it.  I'm sure I can do the same stuff in Drupal anyway.  Just curious. Thanks.

You sure about 2003? I found this: http://info.tiki.org/Tiki+Wiki+CMS+Groupware

It's saying the last update was this week. 

A wiki is fundamentally different from a CMS in one regard: the CMS does everything and the wiki just does one thing - organize articles and editing. Wikis are far lighter weight and less hassle to set up and maintain than a CMS.

Drupal == chain saw, Lightweight wiki == jeweler's screwdriver or something.

I was unclear, it is Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware that I was talking about.  It is kept vey current, but first released in 2003.

What is Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware? Tiki is a powerful, web-based application, created by a large team of contributors. Tiki is the ideal tool for you to build and maintain your Website/Wiki/Groupware/CMS/Forum/Blog/Bug Tracker or any other project you can imagine running in your browser window.

The other stuff I said still applies. It is probably much lighter weight (requires less configuration, not as rich security, not as many features, etc) than Drupal.

True, Drupal is very robust.

Vroom, Vroom  I like that chain saw analogy.

It comes down to what you want to do. Drupal will take you further but Tiki Wiki might be just what you need without any extras, which is hard to say since it also comes with all sorts of features but you get the point.
