Too late for us to use them, we’ve already adopted (via “Magnet”, as I know now).

Disclaimer: I’ll be posting some favorite links for a while, no ads, it’s just cause I like them.

I tend to think that support is more demanding job than {development\implementation}, but job market just doesn’t agree.

It’s so cool and smooth.

  • revision history on schemes.
  • embedding schemes into confluence pages.
  • web-based editing.

With {include} and these diagrams we can form whole documents in Confluence. No Ms Visio reign! No file based version tracking.

PS. I’ve been on vacation&busy, sorry for silence.

Update:
All is not as good as it seems. Encoding
problems appeared (cyrrilic to ???, as usual) after installing this
plugin in our Confluence. Informed Gliffy support, let’s see what
happens.

Upd2:
Gliffy support assured me that they’ll fix this problem in future release.

Upd3:
1.1 version solved the problem. Unicode 4ever!

Meaning it, their products always make me feel sorry for implementing smth else. Stable as hell (stopping only for updates), working on slow PCs (a usual desktop).
We’re using Jira for about 3 years now, and it’s just the way it should be. Recently discovered Jelly, so now all that automatic answering\status-changing business is rolling.
And Confluence is simply my love. The way it should be. The way everything should be. We’ve got a 3+Gb info in it, considering all Cognos-related issues (and non-Cognos also), we document projects in it, we use it as department site. I’d be using it instead of WordPress for this blog (I really prefer wiki-markup to AJAX WSIWYG) and everything else, but hosting cost differentiates 3 times.

I’ve just put Russian Translation of Confluence on Atlassian, hopefully it will help someone.
