Coming to a Blog Near You
This can either be described as fun with advertising or there’s something wrong with the water and it’s affecting our thinking. You can find a few new ads running for our products. On SmallWorld Podcast, you can hear this banter (MP3 file) about an office mate’s new addiction to Confluence. And coming to a blog […]
Jira 3.6 Released
Jira 3.6, now available to download, includes over 50 new features, improvements, and bug fixes. One of the new features is the ability to assign permissions and notifications to an issue’s group field value. For example, users could specify a ‘Responsible Group’ for an issue, and that group’s members would get notifications and permissions for […]
Jeremy’s Little Corner of the Web
Using Confluence as a collaborative application for writing was Jeremey’s blog about, well, using Confluence for writing a paper with his mates. An alternative title I’ve come up with for this entry: “Trials of an Atlassian developer eating his own dogfood.” 🙂
And the Codegeist Winners Are…
We’re excited to finally be able to announce the winners of Atlassian’s first Codegeist Plugin Competition. In Codegeist, contestants had eight weeks to develop, document and submit a previously unreleased plugin for Jira or Confluence.

Over 1,100 commercial and academic customers in more than 45 countries have selected its enterprise wiki software, Confluence. This significant milestone positions Confluence as the most widely adopted commercial enterprise wiki on the market today.
Confluence Selected as Editor’s Choice at Network Computing
We were thrilled to see that Confluence was Network Computing’s pick for best commercial wiki. “Our Editor’s Choice, Atlassian Software Systems’ Confluence 2.1.2, has all the features that suit an enterprise wiki. It’s easy to install and set up, yet flexible and extensible. It supports user and group access controls down to the page level. […]
A New Use for Confluence
What do you get when you combine 35 employees, a bar, laptops, and Confluence? A great team building and social event. That’s precisely what Telenor, Norway’s largest provider of telecommunications systems, did after their quarterly meeting. Five teams hooked laptops onto a local network in a bar, grabbed some beers, and sat down and used […]
Wiki Requirements
Every organisation needs to put some thought behind their system and business requirements when selecting a wiki or any type of enterprise software. We thought this was a really cool description of the thought process for one company. Sure, they happened to choose Confluence — and that’s something we don’t mind either!

Guess Who Just Turned 4?
If it wasn’t apparent from the red and blue balloons on the home page, we’re having a sale on our software to commemorate Atlassian’s 4th birthday. This means, in company terms we’re no longer a baby, we’re a toddler now. This is a great time to purchase Jira and Confluence because both products are discounted […]
Interview with CustomWare
Here’s another interesting case study from one of our neighbors in Sydney. CustomWare Asia Pacific designs, builds, and supports integrated business systems and portal solutions for multinational companies such as Johnson & Johnson, Sony & Corporate Express. The company not only customizes Jira and Confluence to build and support industrial-grade online systems for its clients, […]
Wikis for the Enterprise
Does higher pricing mean greater value? The pricing-to-value phenomenon is discussed as a factor in selling consumer products, but does it play in enterprise software? The reality is that many companies don’t consider something “enterprise” unless it has a big price tag associated with it. Something must be “wrong” with it if it isn’t priced […]
Scandinavian Users Group
This post caught my eye — the Scandinavian Confluence and Jira users group, or SCJUG. It’s always really cool to see community-driven projects like this and we’re happy to support them in any way we can. If you have a users group for either Jira or Confluence and want some free publicity, just let us […]
