Tiki for Dummies Smarties


The definitive beginner's guide for Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware


The original idea behind Smarties was to create a simple, easy-to-read book that will get new Tiki administrators up and running... quickly. This is not an attempt to re-create the full Tiki documentation — instead it focuses on the most common settings and features.

Featuring 450+ pages, from 150+ contributors, read by 1,000,000+ Smarties, in 5 languages!

About this Guide

Since its debut in August 2007, I have received several questions about Smarties. Essentially, this guide is my attempt to contribute to the Tiki Community. I'm not really a hard-core coder, so I'm contributing what I can. Read more about the guide and its primary author.
