Re: Confluence Usage

[John G <john -at- garisons -dot- com>]

We've been using Confluence for our context-sensitive online help for the
past 18 months or so. We use the Scroll Versions add on to allow us to have
multiple doc versions (past, present, future releases) which adds
complexity but provides features we require. We also localize into three
languages.

We also use Confluence extensively for internal communications - various
teams and departments use it to develop and host content.

It's gained wide popularity due to its ease of use. PDF capability is
merely adequate.

I like using it as I can focus on content and not have to worry about
formatting.
