The Tiki Community is proud to announce the release of its first promotional video: How to get help.

In this video, recorded in March 2010, Gary Cunningham-Lee explains how new Tiki Community members can get help with their Tiki sites. Gary is a long-time Tiki contributor and a member of the Tiki Software Community Association.

Watch the complete video at: http://bit.ly/ddczzU .

A series of video clips, released under a Creative Commons license, will be made available for interested parties. Daniel Gauthier, a member of the Tiki Community and the filmmaker of these clips says, "I've created these video clips for a very specific purpose: To help developers, technology decision makers and companies like ISPs who normally know about Open Source Development projects understand the richness of the Tiki Community."

Three to five video clips will be released in the near future, each lasting three to four minutes. These "info-clips" are interviews with members of the Tiki community. In each clip, the audience learns about more about Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware, the Tiki Community and its "Wiki Way" model of software development.

Mr. Gauthier adds, "What a great way to learn about Open Source Development. Tiki Wiki is a dynamic eco-system. It grows so fast and so strong that one day, I believe it will be adopted by many more Fortune 500 companies."

The videos also showcase the Tiki integration with Kaltura (http://www.kaltura.org/), an open source, community supported online video and rich-media solution. See http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Video for details on the Tiki+Kaltura integration.

While beta testing of the upcoming Tiki 5.0 release is well underway, the Tiki community continues to grow with two exciting new features: Video and Online Collaboration. The community is actively "dogfooding" these features — all community members are invited to join and learn more

Video Collaboration

Kaltura (http://www.kaltura.org/) is an  source, community supported online video and rich-media solution. Support for Kaltura was begun in Tiki 4 with the ability to configure your Kaltura registration information within Tiki, and a Tiki wiki plugin to embed Kaltura media in a wiki page.

In the future, Tiki developers are adding the ability to remix videos, specify specific user access and permissions, and tight integration with Tiki file galleries.

See http://dev.tikiwiki.org/Video for details on this integration.
