I received a threatening email today on an old mailbox used to compartiment SPAM and "unsafe" registration on different website and application.
A simple combination used for hacking, games or porn forum I had to scan to test tools... something like 10 years ago.

Building a website is not a goal (or may be in very few case) by itself. I often see people requesting a Website... a nice one, with their logo, colour chart, have a slider, bootstrap, etc, etc. But if I ask: "What do you want your website to do for you or your organisation" ?

I’m not sure exactly where it will go but I’ll publish those quick video without too much of editing. And that’s ok if I don't get an "Oscar" for this. To be true I’m thinking seriously about doing tutorials and this is may the start.

A new breed of Tiki has been released a week ago and the Tiki Community urge every user to update as it solve critical security issues. LTS (Long Term Services) versions are concerned, 12.x and 15.x, as well as the under going development 16.x branch so you got no excuses. With so many improvement and a few regression and bug fixes it is in your best interest to upgrade as those version not only contain security fixes but hundreds of small improvement, enhancement and regressions fixes.
