Simplicity and XP
I like simple things. Why bother with making something complex if the simple thing works. This reminds me of the story, where NASA spent one billion dollars inventing a pen that would work in space while Russians simply used the pencil.
Confluence 2.2 Announcement in Stereo
Prefer Confluence announcements read to you? Then head on over to Using Wiki in Education, a blog that discusses, well, wikis in education, and hear a short podcast about the new 2.2 release of Confluence. Actually, I can’t say enough about this blog which features some really great presentations created by Carbonmade. Another interesting nugget […]
Mind blowing support from Contegix
I was going to write a long post about how fantastic Contegix is for java hosting, but I think that this email exchange pretty much says it all: On Apr 22, 2006, at 12:09 AM, matthew.porter@contegix.com wrote: Charles: After multiple attempts to restart the javablogs.com system for the past 1 hour, 18 minutes, we are […]
Talking that JIRA-slang language, or jiralang, if I may
As a newbie at Atlassian and a new Jira user, I found it interesting to learn about the Jira slang that is evolving behind business walls. It has been exposed on the weblog of Nathan Lee and in a posting on Cliffano’s blog, “When “Jira’ Replaced the Word ‘Issue’ “. Thanks to the creative Jira […]
Confluence 2.2 Gets Personal
Confluence 2.2, now available, introduces some outstanding new features for wiki users such as personal spaces, support for internationalisation, CAPTCHA spam protection, new extension points for plugin developers, a simple LDAP configuration syntax, and more.
Train Rides and Image Slideshows
Train rides are boring, especially when they take half an hour. What could be more fun then writing Confluence plugins to kill some time? A couple days ago I stumbled upon a neat little piece of javascript which based on prototype and scriptaculous makes slideshows look pretty money. Since our gallery macro slideshow is useful […]

Atlassian Sydney Staff Room
Today, we finally banished the non-productive elements of Atlassian to another floor of the office-building (all those sales/marketing/admin people. I mean what do they do, really?). With a big chunk in the middle of the developer offices now empty, we decided to reclaim it as a staff-room. Like all good projects, planning started on the white-board….
Confluence Receives Well-Connected Award
A few weeks ago, we blogged about Network Computing after they selected Confluence as the Editor’s Choice in a review of commerical wikis. Well, Network Computing sent us an email the other day saying that not only had they picked Confluence in their review of wikis, but also selected it for their annual Well-Connected Awards! […]
Blinking VCR
Dmitry created a blog earlier this month entitled Wiki for Fun and Profit that was not only a nice endorsement for Confluence, but also an insightful piece about the use of wikis in organisations. Not only is there some confusion about the use of wikis for enterprise collaboration, but also there’s the question of where […]
Free Code Coverage Tools
What is code coverage? When the query “define:code coverage” is run in Google, you will find the following definitions: An analysis method that determines which parts of the software have been executed (covered) by the test case suite and which parts have not been executed and therefore may require additional attention. www.testingstandards.co.uk/living_glossary.htm Code coverage is […]
Don't test everything!
There was a lesson we learnt today: don’t test everything if you cannot write the universal test for it. I recently joined the great team at Atlassian that is behind Jira – bug tracking, issue tracking and project management and Confluence – the enterprise wiki. We released Jira 3.6 just few days ago and we […]
