Do you think there's demand for a "corporate wiki"? I've been toying with the idea of that on the side for months, but I'm unsure of the demand for it. It seems like wikis are something that people don't enjoy using and don't have a need for. What are your experiences? Where does Confluence fall short?
- Gring 14y agoTo sell a successful corporate wiki, you need hundreds of plug-ins to handle all those special cases that each company inevitably has. That would be your biggest stumbling block, because creating those takes time, and that's where Confluence trumps all others. Where it falls short? Basically everywhere else. There is no taste. If you want our business, create a wiki that puts the content front and center, and remove everything else by default. Then let us add our 3 extension wishes, while still staying minimalist. It's not that difficult. Unfortunately, it seems that either the chief software architect at Confluence is not up to the task, or that the company values quick crappy changes in favor of good design. Good luck with your endeavor!
