JQuery, a beach and the Confluence Team
The Confluence development team went off-site for a day to learn more about JavaScript and JQuery, to enjoy some beach culture and to drink a couple of beers.
4 Challenges to Wiki Adoption in Organizations: #1 High-Level Resistance
Sandy Kemsley writes about 4 challenges to social media/enterprise 2.0 adoption that organizations. The first is resistance at the high-level: …higher-level people are more resistant to bringing in Enterprise 2.0 technologies because it represents a democratization of content and a relative loss of power at their level. What they have to realize is that people […]
Jira has Sixth Sense (Analytics)
How much time do you spend in Jira, coding, writing requirements, or… um, blogging? Most time tracking tools only give you partial insight into some of these figures, but if you’re really wanting a precise figure, you might turn to Sixth Sense Analytics. They have recently built an integration to Jira. Redmonk produced a video […]

Codegeist III: And they're off!
The first Codegeist entries are starting to appear on the Entries page in the Codegeist space on http://confluence.atlassian.com!

I blogged about this very thing last year, and the advice still […]

When IE says DOM is ready but it ain't true
This problem was a rather strange one (JRA-14423). I like tooling with JavaScript but sometimes it surprises me how many differences there may be between various browsers. Using JavaScript libraries has its benefits. A library may give us another abstraction layer – a layer that if designed well can hide differences between browsers and provide […]
Your Feedback… Unedited
What is the likelihood that you would recommend our product(s) to someone? That was the only question we asked in our first ever Net Promoter survey last week, a survey that measures customer satisfaction. Of the 500 people we sent the survey to, 40% responded… w00t! That’s an amazing percentage, esp. considering that we didn’t […]
Atlassian Rocks
From time to time, all of Atlassian’s musicians rock out. It’s not just air-guitar here! We’ve got Boots and Morgan on drums and Jeffery on guitar. And of course, let’s not forget a captivated audience. See more photos from the day.
The new Tasklist macro

Atlassian Supported Plugins, Round 2
I blogged a few months ago about a major change in our plugin libraries. Starting in November, we began designating certain plugins as Atlassian Supported. As I said at the time: Atlassian Supported means that we’ve reviewed the plugins and made sure that they have met certain criteria. A supported plugin must: be available in […]

20% time nuts and bolts
How do you set up a program where developers are free to pursue their passion, to do what they feel is most worthwhile for them to be doing, but at the same time stop developer time disappearing into black-holes and dead ends?
