Tikiwiki Community Case Study

History and background

The Tikiwiki community was founded by Luis Argerich in october 2003 and followed an active growth rate since its early stages. Tikiwiki is a software based on a wiki and made modular in a way it can fit most of the needs that can be fulfilled by a web application. The wide range of uses brought in a wide range of users, and the community has now a relevant population to produce mass statistics.
