Tiki contains a lot of files: Source Lines of Code. How can we reduce it while keeping it easy to host for a hosting company and Auto-installers?

Composer

• The vendor directory created by Composer is using a lot of disk space
  • http://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/lib/core/Tiki/Composer/CleanVendors.php is used to remove unused files

Images

• Image Directory Revamp done
• http://www.smushit.com/ysmush.it/ which will improve Performance
  • Was done for Tiki 13
• Use vector icons instead of bitmaps !
  • Icons SVG or Fonts

Languages

• Tiki comes with 40 translations, but most sites need only up to handful.
  • The language files (at release time), only contain the actual translations and not the placeholders like in SVN. So there is not a big potential to save space.
  • We would need a web-based way to add translations.

Libs

• Review External Libraries so as to not include unused code, demos, docs or translations.

Other

• changelog.txt weighs 5 megs and doesn't convey much. Could be changed to a link to tiki.org/Changelog, which we would control the redirect (for now, on SourceForge.net SVN) done: https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/61464

Packaging script

• In the early days of Tiki, there was a script to package TikiLight which stripped translations and other things...: this idea could be re-activated to remove languages, themes, icons, fonts, etc.
