We will create a profile for [http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Hosted%20Apps|SourceForge.net Hosted Apps]
Related profile: ((Software_Project))
So any software project on SourceForge.net will have an out-of-the-box, pre-configured TikiWiki with default installations to include SourceForge.net specific things. For example:
*[http://alexandria.wiki.sourceforge.net/Project+Web%2C+Shell%2C+VHOST+and+Database+Services#logo|project logo]
*[http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki/trunk/lib/wiki-plugins/wikiplugin_sf.php?view=markup|SourceForge plugin]
*Including RSS feeds from the project (file releases, etc)
This will avoid this complex procedure:
http://doc.tikiwiki.org/SourceForge+Install
This will be a TikiWiki farm, which will be presumably be running with ((doc:MultiTiki)) or ((dev:TRIM)). Users will presumably not have SSH/FTP to their Tiki. Only web access.

!!- On 2009-05-19, marclaporte was inquiring on #sourceforge
[14:39] hinojosa: I had thought someone sent you something on this
[14:40] hinojosa: let me poke around behind the curtains here...
[14:40] hinojosa: a few minutes please.
[14:41] marclaporte: We just released 3.0 :-) and are ready to proceed
[14:42] burley-sf: what's the DB that tiki uses?
[14:43] burley-sf: and what's it written in -- php?
[14:43] marclaporte: php/mysql
[14:43] burley-sf: is there a module/method for supporting HTTP basic auth?
[14:44] marclaporte: yes
[14:44] burley-sf: and some method of auto-creating users upon authenticated login?
[14:44] marclaporte: not sure
[14:44] burley-sf: should be trivial to add to the auth foo though
[14:45] burley-sf: Sounds like it should be pretty painless for us -- but its gonna have to wait for a few other hosted app changes first
[14:45] burley-sf: we're in the middle of integrating hosted apps into the site proper so auth is handled uniformly
[14:45] burley-sf: once that's done I know we're discussing what HAs are next in line
[14:46] burley-sf: I can raise Tiki at that time as well
[14:50] marclaporte: Thanks.
[14:51] marclaporte: My goal is to make an out-of-the-box SourceForge profile (a TikiWiki specially configured for SourceForge) which is a slight adaption of the more generic Software Project profile -> http://profiles.tikiwiki.org/SourceForge_Software_Project
[14:55] burley-sf: that would be really neat
[14:57] marclaporte: Is there anything for stats tracking? page hit counter in the Hosted Apps with does a bit like page hits on normal project pages?
[15:01] marclaporte: in which case, we would put this web bug in this profile. So page hits on Tiki Hosted App would be counted properly without overhead for project
[15:01] hinojosa: have you tried piwik?
[15:01] marclaporte: a long time ago, when it had different name
[15:01] hinojosa: we have that as a hosted app
[15:01] hinojosa: from the implementation we have
[15:01] hinojosa: you can use this for site projects
[15:01] hinojosa: you should check it out
[15:02] marclaporte: I will :-)
[15:02] neoneurone has joined
[15:04] burley-sf: Once the integration bit is done stats collection will be made simpler/better for hosted apps
[15:08] marclaporte: are we looking at weeks away or months away?
[15:18] burley-sf: I can't provide any sort of timeline and the only person who can is out of the office
[15:18] burley-sf: I suggest you ping moorman
[15:19] marclaporte: auto-creating users upon HTTP basic auth? (anything else I should prepare?) Do you have any docs/code/etc about a typical customization of a php/mysql app to become suitable for HA? (I'll start planning this aspect)
[15:38] burley-sf: marclaporte: We haven't written anything up for the community yet -- I was hoping to write something up to do a presentation about it at OSCON -- but they rejected it
[15:59] marclaporte: burley-sf: : sorry to hear that
