“Try out Gliffy”

I was at the Gilbane Boston conference over the last couple days. For all the right reasons, the new Gliffy plugin for Confluence received a lot of attention from anyone who stopped by the booth.

“Kick Ass!” Products

It’s not often that a piece of writing makes me laugh out loud, but this one did. That’s not only a really flattering quote that our Confluence team should be proud of, but it’s hilarious. Of course, I would love to know who wrote it so we could attribute it on our website, but barring […]

Inside the Firewall

Blogs about Google’s acquisition of JotSpot continue to pop up on our RSS feeds. We saw this one and wanted to add it our list of blog mentions: So now, if you want something inside your firewall, it’s pretty much Confluence or nothing (we chose Confluence anyway btw – it’s amazing and far, far ahead […]

Wikis for Democracy

I’ve had this dream lately that the first politician who can apply transparency to his or her campaign wins. A reality series in which a candidate is followed by a camera crew 24/7 so we can see his or her brilliant moments and foibles. In the USA, anyway, our politicians all talk about being more […]

Shamelessly Ripped from the Crew at Atlassian

Sorry, the blog title is misleading… nothing too shameful about this. Jeremey had worked at Atlassian not too long ago and he’s borrowed some of the development practices at Atlassian for his current project: Connoisseur, an app that makes “managing your recipes as easy as iTunes makes managing your music.” From his blog entry, Anatomy […]

Atlass(t)ian! Why I luv’em.

Atlassian has kept its distance from traditional corporate public relations, we don’t have a PR agency, we don’t do a lot of self promotion. Still, it’s great when a writer comes along and wants to write a story about the company. A terrific write up here from Susan Scrupski at ITSinsider about Atlassian. The article […]
