Hotspot Wikis at Gilbane Boston
We’re attending the Gilbane Boston event next month. This year the conference organisers have a new “wiki hotspot” featuring wiki software folks like ourselves, which I suppose means that the traditional world of content management needs a good infusion of new blood. Not that a $1200 wiki will necessarily replace a $250,000 content management system, […]
Best Way to Set Up Your Wiki
After posting a blog on patterns of wiki adoption, I received a comment from someone with the question where do I start? Rather than post the comment, I thought I would restate the question as its own blog because I think it’s an issue that lots of people will have. First, there was the question […]

To that end, I developed a python SOAP client for Jira, called pyjira. I also created a front end, called jiranemo (good for plunging into the dark […]
Search for an issue tracker
Tejus’ posted this comparison of issue trackers blog: I think Atlassian’s Jira is far and away the best issue tracker that I’ve ever used.

What’s Up with Using Wikis in Education?
Months ago, after I noticed that an announcement about a new release of Confluence had been picked up on Using Wikis in Education, Stewart Mader and I started a conversation that continues to this day.
