"Good analysis! I think the point was just to suggest to you to have more than one option (be it product, solution or outcome) available." - Stewart Rogers

Atlassian Summit was an excellent event - can't wait till next year! - Ellen Feaheny

"All wikis, simply, are not the same... there is a wide spectrum - Wiki platforms vary GREATLY in capabilities, features, methodologies, ways to solve some of the management issues described, etc., etc.... So, if you are going to invest time into creating content on a wiki which will grow in value, then get the right tool for the job. Don't waste your employees time using a wiki that is not feature full enough to do an enterprise-level job. You are building intellectual value in that content - do it well." - Ellen Feaheny

I know about MediaWiki already. - Mike Fruchter

just had some good experience starting to use pmwiki http://www.jeroendemiranda.com/WordPre... for hosting some documentation on my blogs - out of the box installation on http://www.bluehost.com - Jeroen De Miranda

Hey tomas - great to see you, sorta speak - hope you are great!! :) - Ellen Feaheny

I was wondering the same thing yesterday. Anyone have any experience with WIkia, Wetpaint or Wikidot? - Dr. Apps from twhirl

I tried Wikia and Wetpaint a while back, and ended up being more frustrated than anything and finally just installed Mediawiki. A lot of the frustration was due to "helpful" WYSIWYG features when I just wanted to write the straight wiki code that I was used to from Wikipedia. - Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF

...what other communication options would you suggest? - JA Castillo

Dead is not gone. There is a big difference. - Tim Young

"Comics online might be better, and even the news and rest... but sitting in a coffee shop on a Sunday morning every so often with the front page section, the color comics, and a steaming cup of coffee has always been an extremely relaxing time for me. I'm don't really I feel that relaxation clicking around news on the Internet. Sure, might be for different purposes, but still it is something I will miss, since you asked. Instead we'll all resort to the more mindless local ad classifieds "papers" or real estate mags that are in most coffee shops - until they also go away. And of course I can't argue these conveniences over all the good evolution points you stated - well stated. Encouraging us to prepare and bring a good novel is of course a great evolution of habit (among other)!" - Ellen Feaheny

Can crush it even more with JIRA Client http://xrl.us/bebo7h and/or Greenhopper http://xrl.us/bebo7o - THE FUN HAS JUST BEGUN! Cheers! - Ellen Feaheny

Summary of Atlassian customer case study and plugin Webinars, to date, as of posting this (12/17). Great quick link list - and each Webinar holds it's own, meeting real world challenges and solutions. - Ellen Feaheny

"This is a great quick link list of Atlassian real world stories and plugin solutions - answers and case studies of real problems and solutions. Of course you can go to their Website and find the same - but here it is on a single page (to date)." - Ellen Feaheny

"If at all interested in collaborating at the best levels possible in your office, you need to check this out - just as a tease really. Atlassian is taking things to a whole new level - everyone, all positions and all levels, can shine in the office - how it should be, for empowered workforces! Let alone enormous productivity because of the thrill to do and show good work in great collaborative ways, easier than ever before. Incredible release!" - Ellen Feaheny

"Sorry about the URL in the title - I thought I put in "Technology Populism, Moral Indignation and The Rise of Atlassian" - but I guess I goofed (be more careful next time). Still cool and accurate articles! Confluence and their plugins can change your business world for the better on so many levels!" - Ellen Feaheny

"Sounds like you need(ed) Jira Client: http://www.almworks.com/jiracli..... ... And don't put your brain in a jar. Simply not a pretty thing, for anyone's shelf..." - Ellen Feaheny

"HackBerry South - At 30 years old and an 8 year history on your resume, you are not over-qualified - that is absurd. Take a step down from your perspective, get creative and figure out how to market yourself. You simply relied on the company to do it for you before, because you can and its easy. Become your own CEO of your life. And yeah, there are life requirements (wife, kids, mortgage - all that always - the harder the pains, the more you'll do whatever it takes to succeed - so look at it in a good light), but yeah, you need to do it quick, smart, and realistic too. From the sound of what you wrote, you left because you should have, anyways, and so get over it - subscribe to walkthetalk.com daily inspirations if you need to - then get to work on your next plan. And more, get excited about the future! I know easier said than done - but it is true. You made the change happen, now embrace the future better changes as a result. It will be, if you keep the right perspective. I believe..." - Ellen Feaheny

"The Big Three have been sabotaging each other for years - and for a long time didn't take the foreign competition as real. JUST as, might I add, alot of industries didn't take foreign competition seriously - which was simply *foolish hubris*. (In fact, hubris is always foolish!) Except, the benefit that other industries had was that they would watch the auto-industry do this, learn from the well-case-studied auto industry (in every MBA class of the country). Other industries would learn earlier, and steer more nimbly, faster, better, smarter. Being nimble as an automobile company is not easy - not like software, for obvious physical and capital reasons. Not that this is an excuse - it is positively not! They certainly could have and *should have* been more, quicker, faster. Always! Yet in the meantime while they were not, newer companies - foreign competition, was - simply. Just as the auto companies ignored the foreign competition as credible for too long, they also ignored the speed..." - Ellen Feaheny

"Amen!" - Ellen Feaheny

"I saw some Tibetan monks do the sand art design (in heavy detail as the pictures show) at the SF Exploratorium a few years back. After days of extraordinary patience building it, they suddenly trashed the sand art and put it in urn-like vessels. Then, the horns started, and a mini-parade gathered, as the monks and others followed them across the street to the water (ocean). The horns continued the entire time, as they blessed the sand in the urns and threw it in the ocean... It was an awesome sight on all levels. Very moving. Inspirational will power and stamina that the sand artists have. If you ever come across the opportunity to visit a Tibetan exhibit like this (or to visit the insides of a monastery), I strongly recommend (whether you are Buddhist or not - I am not, actually - though I do like their philosophies in general)." - Ellen Feaheny
