Got a sec? How do you use Confluence?
Thought I’d create a quick poll to learn more about how people are using Confluence (and will publish one for Jira on Monday). Pick as many answers as you like, or write in your own. Free Polls – Take Our Poll

Congratulations go out to Atlassian co-founders and CEOs, Scott Farquhar and Mike Cannon-Brookes, for making the finalists for the Smart 100, a list of “a new generation of entrepreneurs that are changing not just the nature of the internet, but threatening traditional PC software with extinction.” Seven years ago, Atlassian’s co-founders Farquhar and Mike Cannon-Brookes […]

Sony Ericsson Developer World Phones Home to Confluence
Thanks to Mark Derricutt’s Disturbing Thoughts blog, I was redirected to Sony Ericsson’s new developer wiki that uses Confluence. The wiki employs a unique theme that gives the site a fresh look and user experience. Great job!
Dozens of Updates in Confluence 2.5
Confluence 2.5 is now available for download. It introduces support for one of the most voted-upon features, flexible page permissions, which allow you to assign permissions on a page level for multiple groups and users.

With the JavaOne 2007 conference taking place the prior week, the primary topic of discussion will be what transpired at JavaOne.
MentorNet Wiki Helps Women Entrepreneurs Connect and Collaborate
MentorNet is a program from the Australian Businesswomen’s Network (ABN) that now offers Confluence for mentors and peers to collaborate and receive e-learning and mentoring. Atlassian supports non-profits like MentorNet with free software licenses. To date, we’ve donated more than 2,500 free open source and non-profit licenses. A couple weeks ago a few of here […]
Wish upon a Plugin
If you’re thinking about entering the Atlassian Codegeist competition, you may already have a plugin in mind that you want to develop. If you don’t, you should consider looking at the ideas on the Plugin Wishlist. The Plugin Library has a complete list of all the plugins that are freely available to customers. The Plugin […]
Cluster This (Too)!
In January, Confluence 2.3 became the first commercial wiki that could be clustered. We billed it as, “Confluence Massive… provides unlimited scalability, together with exceptional performance and reliability, for large deployments of the wiki.” Turns out a lot of customers with a smaller number of users wanted to be able to cluster the wiki, too. […]
Bamboo and Spring CI Build
James Governor’s blog pointed out this blog by the team at Interface 21. Thanks for the great words about Bamboo! In about 10 minutes we had the Spring CI build up and running. This might not sound like much, but due to its size Spring doesn’t play nicely with some build servers. So you can […]
Jira Blogs
A few Jira-related blogs came across the radar today: Presenting at JA-SIG Summer ’07 Patrick Berry is giving two presentations at JA-SIG, one on Rails Development and the other on Jira: As technology workers and managers we often have more things to do than we have time, so we are constantly on the lookout for […]
Getting Better Statistics about Your Wiki
I got a call today from a customer who asked how he can get additional statistics from Confluence. Is there a plugin that gives data on most popular wiki pages, most active users, what pages do new users visit first, etc.? Two thoughts here: First, a new Activity Tracking plugin shipped with Confluence 2.3, which […]
Codegeist II: Geist in the Machine
Our plugin competition is back. More details on prizes, categories, last year’s entries, and more are on the Codegeist home page. Special thanks to our friends at The ServerSide, Jetbrains, Cenqua, and YourKit for donating prizes. Ready, steady, start hacking!
Test Run for Jira Users
Test Run is a tool for developers to create new tests and test plans. A couple of days ago they released a new version that was modified specifically to help Jira users track bugs in Test Run. Jira is unique among other bug tracking systems in that the bug IDs it produces are not exclusively […]
Guest Bloggers Wanted: Jira for Agile Development
A Jira customer recently asked us if we had a best practices guide on the use of Jira for agile development. This is a project we had started but never completed, though it’s clearly a topic of interest. Here’s one blog post on the topic that Charles wrote about a year ago, and another one […]
