New Confluence Theme
It’s been a while since I’ve blogged anything about new plugins. That’s certainly not because there haven’t been any, but more a reflection of how busy they’ve been keeping me. But Laura Kolker wrote a simple theme for Confluence that I know lots of people will be interested, so I thought I’d plug it here. […]
UWC Update
We last mentioned the Universal Wiki Converter back in August, and I’m here to check in with a report from the field. The Universal Wiki Converter was, as we hoped, extremely popular. We’ve seen a lot of interest since we published it. We started with three conversion formats (TWiki, PMWIki and DokuWiki) and we just […]
Atlassian User Group Roundup
The first Atlassian User Group (AUG) meeting in Virginia this week was a tremendous success. Wil Anderson and I flew in from San Francisco on Monday night, and Scott arrived that night from Sydney (by way of Kuala Lumpur and then London). The meeting was held Tuesday evening at a lovely hotel in Falls Church […]

Atlassian User Group Meeting on Sept. 19th
IntelliObjects, an official Atlassian partner, is sponsoring our first Mid-Atlantic Atlassian User Group. We’re meeting on Tuesday evening, September 19th in Falls Church, Virginia — very near Washington D.C. So if you’re in the D.C. area (and I know a lot of our customers are), please come by. We’d love to meet you. This free […]
Atlassian Taking On the World
Zoli Erdos posted a brief mention about Atlassian Taking On the World: I’ve recently had a chance to meet Mike and Jonathan in Atlassian’s San Francisco offices, and frankly was blown away by their enthusiasm, the company’s growth, but most importantly by a demo of Confluence, the market-leading enterprise wiki. We had an interesting and […]
By any other name: Action Aliasing in Jira
By specifying as ‘alias’ the name of an existing action (in actions.xml), you can override default Jira behaviour. – The Jira Plugin docs I first read that line in our docs more than a year ago, and have seen it many times since, but I never really understood how powerful this actually was. When I […]
New Jira Plugin – Voters and Watchers
I took a couple of days last week and knocked up a new Jira plugin that makes it easier to deal with voting, the Voters and Watchers Plugin. This plugin consists of three custom fields: The View Voters custom field – this field allows you to view all of the users who have voted for […]
SFWin at Atlassian
Atlassian is hosting the next installment SF Web Innovators Network on Tuesday (July 25th) at our offices in SF. (More on Upcoming). SFWIN is a group of people in the SF Bay Area technology industry who meet once a month in San Francisco for drinks, conversation and to get to know one another. Whether you’re […]
New plugins worth noting
We’ve had a few cool plugins added to the Plugin Libraries recently, and I wanted to point them out here in case you missed them. The NextGen IM Presence Plugin Confluence has long been able to show your instant message presence status inside of a page, at least for certain networks. But David Peterson has […]
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 […]

An faster way to build and test your plugins
When we created the Confluence and Jira Plugin Development Kits our goal was to include absolutely everything someone would need to build a plugin in one download. We tried to imagine someone writing code on a plane, without net access. (In fact, this is how Mike tends to write his best plugins, but that’s another […]
Smart Confluence 'Terminal' Macro
We were reading through some Tangosol documentation recently (which is conveniently built using Confluence) and we saw a handy little trick on this page. They created a user-macro to display a terminal style for the chunks of their documentation that represent command-line interaction the user should follow. It’s easy, it’s fun, and it makes your […]
