Icon-thread a reply to Confluence vs. SocialText

So are we looking at integrating either Confluence or SocialText into e.laborate so we would have those features?  Last night I took at look at Confluence through the New Paradigm site. It doesn't have true project management features, but it does look like we could load files, have version control, organize by area (e.g. Education area would have RM PDP area, IT LDP area, etc.), etc. 

A different issue: The hard part now is that it is still difficult to find things on e.laborate. I seem to have signed up for multiple RSS feeds trying to make sure I can sent important company information. Then I have individual blog contributors sent to me.  Lots of feeds and I'm still not sure if an announcement was made I would be notified.

    Hi Barbara,

    Yes, we are currently investigating potential wiki integrations. It's pretty early in the process, but we (the Apps Team) would love to hear (from anyone) any previous experience they've had regarding Wikis and how people like to use them. One good thing regarding Confluence is their extensive plugin system - a quick search on their plugin site listed at least a couple of interesting project management type plugins. Extensibility and easy integration are key for this project. Nonetheless, please feel free to reply to this conversation regarding anything wiki related. We'd appreciate the input.

    As for the general e.laaborate issues, we'd love any feedback you have - the more specific the better. I'd start that conversation with a couple of questions for you:

    1. Which feeds are problematic?
    2. How are you 'organizing' the feeds (since you mention you have several)?
    3. Have there been specific instances where your RSS feed was not updated but the content on the site was?
    4. Are you using the 'secure feed' option, and if so, which RSS reader are you using?

    Thanks for the feedback Barbara. Looking forward to any additional insight you can provide

     

    Mike

      Very interesting.

      From Collective Current

      Fantastic news: Atlassian have introduced an embedded wiki spreadsheet for the Confluence product called EditGrid. It has been implemented as a Confluence plug-in and finally brings real-time spreadsheet collaboration to the enterprise wiki world.

      When the wiki page is saved the spreadsheet is stored as an Excel like attachment to the page. Normal wiki change tracking / versioning is extended to the spreadsheet's contents!

      When the page is viewed the sheet's contents is rendered in HTML right on the page – no clicking of links or examining the page for attachments! The viewing user is even able to perform sorting and auto filtering.

      When the page is placed into edit, a special sheet editor is provided.

      Uncharacteristically for Atlassian, the plug-in has been provided first for hosted users (both Hosted and the newer Enterprise Hosted schemes) but in-house users will have to wait until "later in 2008 Q1".

      I feel that this feature opens up the Confluence tool to even more possibilities regarding emergent applications/user organized applications and is possibly another nail in the coffin of the traditional CMS style intranet.
