Information World Review Article on Wikis and Blogs
Here’s an excerpt regarding Atlassian Confluence from an article about blogs and wikis from the November 2006 issue of Information World Review: As you would expect of a product aimed squarely at the enterprise market, security functionality is well implemented. The editing experience is also richer now, mainly because of the additional power that has […]
Atlassian Selected for BRW Fast 100
For the second year in a row, Atlassian has been selected for the BRW Fast 100. The BRW Fast 100 is a list of Australia’s fastest-growing small and medium-sized businesses, ranking companies with up to 200 staff according to their average annual turnover growth over three years. Atlassian achieved 197% growth in the last year, […]
Top Web Apps in Australia
Did you know Australia’s Internet penetration is about 70%? Ditto for the U.S. I’d say that’s not too shabby…readily connected, actually. With such a high Internet use-to-population percentile, the next thing to consider is how is it supported and what has been developed during this Internet-age. In the States you have lots of web companies, […]
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 […]
Atlassian Promotion to Help JotSpot Wiki Server Customers Migrate
We announced this on yesterday’s blog, today a more formal announcement was put onto Business Wire. For a limited time, Atlassian will offer JotSpot Wiki Server customers a discount on commercial and academic Confluence licenses whilst also offering data migration tools and services. The promotion follows JotSpot’s decision to cease offering behind-the-firewall solutions following their […]
Atlassian To Help JotSpot Customers Migrate Data
It appears the rumours floating around at Office 2.0 were true. Congratuations are in order to JotSpot. Today it was announced that they have been acquired by Google. Everyone here at Atlassian who has met someone from JotSpot, either at a wiki Wednesday, a conference, or a meet up in the Bay Area, has had […]
I heart Jira
“I am so missing Jira, the issue management tool I implimented and championed…Haven’t found another tool that works better yet for change management.” It’s always nice to be told this, so thanks for the friendly blog rant, Rach. Just for the record, Jira hearts you, too, and hopes you find your way back.
Confluence on Rails
Matt Zukowski of Encore just posted a new Rails plugin that simplifies using Confluence’s XML-RPC interface. Having used Rails myself for some fun programming, I can attest at how easy it is to get an app up and running. It’s a perfect medium for creating lightweight software to meet the needs of agile teams. And […]
New Confluence Theme
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged anything about new plugins. That’s certainly not because there haven’t been any, but more a reflection of how busy they’ve been keeping me. But Laura Kolker wrote a simple theme for Confluence that I know lots of people will be interested, so I thought I’d plug it here. […]
Atlassian User Group in Antwerp
Following on the heels of a very successful user group meeting in Virginia last month, we are tentatively planning to hold another user group meeting in Antwerp, Belgium in December. Several Atlassian developers are planning to attend Javapolis. Right now we’re looking for places to hold the meeting, ideally somewhere close to the Java convention. […]
TechSoup: Non-Profits & Wikis
Atlassian has provided hundreds of free Confluence licenses to non-profits over the last two years. The good folks at TechSoup contacted us last week to ask us to spread the word about an online event they’re having this week about non-profits and wikis. Here’s more information if you’re interested in participating. Join us in the […]
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 […]
A Sneak Peek at Jira 3.7
If you’re an admin or project lead at a large organisation, you can uncross those fingers — project roles have made their way into Jira 3.7! This means developers, testers, admins, and other various users can be grouped together according to their role. Project leads even get to edit their own ‘roles’ in the Jira […]
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 […]
