Directions
1. Your name should be listed below. If it is, go to step 3; if it isn't, continue to step 2.

2. This is to create a new page with your name.

Simply click on the link the follows this sentence, and name the page with your name: Link to create a user page. Be mindful however, you will be taken away from this page. This page will be your user page within the EAG workspace.

3. Click on the drop down box below, and select one of the options:

  • Keep (We keep and implement it)
  • Drop (We don't keep using it)
  • Hold (Needs more evaluation)

After that you can enter a comment in the comment field, just click the pencil image to the right enter your comment in the box that appears. When you are done please click anywhere else in the page and it will complete the process.
If you would like to change the name listed on this page or add content to it, click on the link with the name in the list belowm after referring to step 2 on adding your profile.

4. optional: If you would like to include your profile from your own space on the page with your name, add the below replacing 'username' with your username that you signed up with.

{include:~username:Home}

For example for me it would be:

{include:~chapel:Profile}

Notice how I have Profile instead of Home, that is because I named my homepage 'Profile'.
(If you have not filled out your profile, then this include will not work properly. Although once you do make your profile it should show up just fine.)

Thank you for helping evaluate Confluence.

I agree with Trent that perhaps the group discussions should be kept on Google Groups. But over the last week i have had too many 'if only Google Pages could...' and the answer is always in Confluence you can.

Quite a nice system, reasonably responsive. Does it have portable data though?

I use Confluence at the office, so I'm inclined toward it (fewer new clicks to learn). That being said, I've found it great as a document repository, but not great for ongoing discussions. Right now, my vote would be to use Groups for discussions, and Confluence (or other open source equivalent) for documentation tracking.

I really like it, best wiki I have used.

Skype for Brainstorming. Google Groups for Reasoned discussion. PBWiki for documentation. I find Confluence a bit heavyweight and was disappointed by the downtime.

Confluence does need some getting used to for me. I like the various modules (to-do, RSS, embeddable pages).

I wish it offered a wysiwyg editor (for Opera), especially with all those wikimarkup options.

This comment box seems to be buggy (on Mac/Firefox) Took 3 attempts to write this. Confluence integrates with Jira - suggest that should be the next step so we can report bugs like this. Another bug - this entry is not showing as done on the top page.

Noted that the WYSIWYG editor is not available with Opera or Safari (Thanks Phil and Jacob)

Skype for Brainstorming. Google Groups for Reasoned discussion. PBWiki for documentation. I find Confluence a bit heavyweight and was disappointed by the downtime.

Heavyiness noted. As was your comment in the skype chatroom that training may be needed.

As for downtime, this system is not in production and so we have not got procedures in place to ensure 100% uptime - although monitoring has been implemented so Atlassian can fix problems before we notice it. However I do not consider this a factor for the evaluation.

I certainly think it would be nice if Atlassian would support OpenID in Confluence.
