What’s a wiki?
From GlobeandMail.com: But now the good news. Not all wikis suck. Our experience with so many bad programs finally enabled us to find wiki software we like. Confluence, a commercial product from Australia, addressed 90 per cent of our wish list. And in the last few months wiki acceptance in our company has increased tenfold […]
ShipIt Day 3 Part 1: Confluence
For those coming in late, ShipIt Day is Atlassian’s occasional “open coding” day. Everyone gets to work on whatever pet project they’ve had hanging around in the back of their minds, so long as they can build something to show off to the rest of the team by six o-clock. Some Confluence features that started […]

Jira takes on the Ultimate Water Gun
Have you heard of the RetroPod? What about the Ultimate Water Gun? If you guess “rock bands” you’d be wrong. They’re actually the creations of John Young. Fellow Atlassians introduced me to John and his work. Here’s an in-depth entry on how Jira helps manage tasks around the RetroPod, Ultimate Water Gun, and more. Here’s […]
Bug fixes galore
I’ve been a little bit quieter than usual lately, as I’ve been hard at work on the Atlassian Plugin system. I’ve spent the last couple of weeks fixing bugs and adding a new feature. The new feature will have to wait for a bit, but most of the bugfixes came out last week with Confluence […]
Daemonite
FarCry WIKI is a community effort to generate user and developer documentation for the FarCry CMS from Daemon. On the Daemon blog entry Wiki’s work… sometimes, they praised Confluence (thank you), but noted some of the challenges of creating information heirarchies. But here’s the thing; we’re stuck with a great open source solution, with not […]

There are folks who use Jira for agile development and a number of resources you (and others) might want to take a look at. Read how we use Jira […]
CSUC: Pragmatic Issue Tracking
Pat has put together a draft of Pragmatic Issue Tracking with Jira for the CSU Chico instance of Jira. Great resource for other Jira newbies! Thanks!
Musings of a Software Development Manager
One of the paragraphs in Climbing the Hill of Higher Quality Software Development says After instituting Confluence as our wiki solution we’re seeing a much larger amount of content go up per day at least 5-10 new pages. We also maxed out our 25 named users license as well today. This was a follow up […]
Jira for Indispensable Customer Relations
One of the great things about talking with customers is hearing how they are using our products in ways they hadn’t originally anticipated. Take Mazeppa, one of Norway’s leading consultancies for ERP systems and telecom solutions to many of the country’s largest industrial companies. Mazeppa started using Jira for bug tracking but discovered it could […]

Thanks to Jive Software and its great chat software, we now offer customers instant support. If you have a support question, you can email, call, IM or submit a form—whatever is easiest for you. First you’ll probably visit the Atlassian support page like Marty Andrew did the other day. I ran across the posting, “legendary […]
