We are very pleased that Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware is offered as part of APS. Tiki has frequent releases and it’s very helpful that site admins can enjoy easy installs and upgrades.

Tiki’s frequent releases permit to take advantage of new possibilities (jQuery, HTML5, etc.) and many site admins enjoy having access to the latest and greatest. Here is a recap of innovations in 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
* 2012-05: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki9 LTS
* 2012-12: http://doc.tiki.org/Tiki10

However, as Tiki has been for many years the Free and Open Source software Web Application with the most built-in features, there is a huge part of our user base that does not want/need new features, but only bug fixes and security fixes. This is why we have been offering Long Term Support (LTS) versions for some time, and we have recently decided to extend this LTS period. Please see details here:
* http://info.tiki.org/Version+Lifecycle
* http://tiki.org/FOSS+Web+Application+with+the+most+built-in+features

So, ideally APS would offer all supported versions of Tiki. Alternatively, to focus on LTS versions. The current 9.x LTS is supported until November 2015.

We feel Tiki’s model and well-defined lifecycle offers many benefits for a hosting company. Please see: http://tiki.org/Hosting+company
FYI, Tiki has been downloaded over 1 million times! http://info.tiki.org/article192-Tiki-Passes-1-Million-Downloads

Looking forward to your thoughts.
