Effective Jira Issues
Filing effective issues is incredibly important. Every product has a lot of issues in the database, and a lot more get filed every day. The more accurate detail is in each issue, the more efficiently we can deal with them, and the more likely it is that the issue will be resolved sooner.
“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. Techrigy has blogged about it as well: I figured I would post today about Gliffy (http://www.gliffy.com) since I just finished […]
Zombies recommended
A little-known feature in Confluence is that it provides suggested labels when you are editing content or open the label edit controls at the top of a page. But sometimes these suggestions can be a little unexpected.

Gliffy!
I’m happy to announce the official release of the terrific new Gliffy plugin for Confluence. If you’ve been watching the Confluence mailing lists, you will have seen the beta announcements for this plugin over the last couple of months, but this is the real, 1.0 release — just in time for Confluence 2.3. The Gliffy […]
Fighting Comment spam in Jira
Recently there has been a surge of comment spam on public Jira instances. Spammers are registering themselves as Jira users, in order to spam issues. Atlassian is evaluating solutions to this problem. In the meantime, we have written up a JSP that can be deployed in an existing Jira instance (versions 3.3 – 3.6.5), that […]
Melbourne Cup Lunch
The Melbourne Cup is a big deal on the annual calendar Down Under. We spent a beautiful afternoon catching the ferry across to Will and Toby’s at Manly Beach where we all enjoyed an afternoon champagne and racing extravaganza. See other photos from 2006, or even more from past years.
Family and Friends Day
The extended Atlassian family out for the day at Lane Cove National Park in Sydney. A BBQ and backyard cricket — must be summertime. See more photos from the day.
XSLT using too much memory? Try STX
The Jira data anonymizer is a little tool which uses XSLT to anonymize potentially sensitive text in XML backups. Unfortunately it uses up lots of memory, as XSLT works on a DOM tree and so has to load the whole XML document into memory. We are solving this properly in 3.7 with a built-in anonymizer, […]
“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 […]
Un-official Atlassian User Group Poster
Shouldn’t all user group meeting invitations be this interesting? This was sent to us by Pix Software, our partner sponsoring the upcoming User Group meeting in Karlsruhe, Germany. Everyone at Atlassian loved it, however, it might not see the light of day outside of this blog. Now they’re thinking it might not quite be the […]
Resource for theme developers
I spent a few minutes today and knocked up a Confluence space that demonstrates all of the basic rendering functionality. Headlines, lists, images, tables, etc. Why would I do that, you ask? Well, for the benefit of our tiny horde of theme developers. The idea is that one can import this space into Confluence, and […]
