This article describes howto use Confluence for Your (private) Homepage

 

 

 

Why use Confluence?


  • Excellent Rich Text Editor - One of the strongest features at all, it for sure beats all other (See this list)  
  • Very Stable and very many releases with new features
  • A lot of 3rd party options - both free and commercial
  • Java based

Why not to use Confluence?

 

  • Not free - and even though license costs are low, it all add's up. Free alternatives are CMS'es like WordPress, Drupal ,Joomla or Liferay
  • Requires quite a lot of resources (it's java....)
  • The Download version requires direct server access (Windows or Linux)
  • Java based

Not free? Well, if You are a non-comercial organisation, Open Source Project or a private person - try to apply for a "Open Source License" at Atlassian

A nice starter package could be

 

  • Confluence 10 User = $10
  • RefinedWiki 10 User = $10 or Enterprise Theme 10 User =$10

 

= $20 / Year

 

 

Dowload or onDemand?

Bob Swift has some excellent Macro's at https://bobswift.atlassian.net/wiki/display/info/Information

Also, these are typically quite cheap and does not follow the user-model for Confluence

Both Adaptavist and ServiceRocket has a bundle of very nice and usefull free plugins
