thanks for your comments Jason
Confluence is definitely more advanced than media wiki
Features such as watch lists, ability to embed complex macros and integrations with other
developer application tools such as Jira, FishEye, Crucible, Bamboo and Clover are
just a few reasons to use confluence
1 in 6 web/application developers world wide use one or more of the above tools

Hi Peter,

One of the major problems at work is our knowledge/documentation. We currently have a mediawiki set up but I personally don’t find it that useful.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about Confluence, and it seems that where it has been implemented properly it works well. Hopefully our work can move forward with it so I can stop hearing good things!

Hi Peter,

I’ve implemented Confluence recently and while it is a bit “raw” I find that most people can engage with it after minimal training. It’s cheap to buy and fast to implement – good Web 2.0 characteristics in my opinion!

Currently the university license is quite cheap compared to other corporate applications. A few thousand per year ongoing, unlimited users. Has a lot more functionality than Media wiki but unfortunately no teaching and learning instance as yet. I ran a trial last semester as part of a collaborative project with INN347 at https://wiki.qut.edu.au/display/web2/Home but unfortunately we had to submit a printed copy, hence the missing Exec Summary.

Hi Peter,

Thanks for this introduction to Confluence. I’ve heard that they allow not-for-profit’s like universities to use free of charge. Perhaps we should consider using it on DigitalOrgs.net.

Your point about Microsoft using it is amusing!
