Anyone use gmail? Anyone use it while it was still "beta"? :-)
Heh. I actually meant that ASF's support for Confluence was in beta.
Had we known (before spending days to migrate our old WIKI) that
MoinMoin was the preferred WIKI, we would have been happy to use that.
In fact, if Confluence really is a problem here, we could still
migrate to MoinMoin.

The one thing you don't want is something outside of the ASF
infrastructure. Really, you don't. Existing SF infrastructure for
historical reasons, sure. Something new, not smart.
Point taken; hosting that outside is not a good idea.
What you may want is to keep disagreeing on how useful confluence is,
and arrange enough peer pressure to have atlassian fix the bloody
thing, or be annoyed enough to bloody well fix it yourself, and stamp
your feet until someone lets you, and then be real surprised when
you're thanked for stamping your feet so much and asked to be on the
ASF board (but that's getting ahead of myself, really).
We don't have special feelings towards Confluence (though I have been
using it in a commercial setting for quite a while without ever having
problems). We just picked one of the WIKIs we saw listed.
Or maybe not.

I still haven't baked that cake. For the record -- I help out a
little bit with jira and confluence maintainance at work, and I think
they suck, too.
As in *using* a framework is so much nicer than having to deal with
the bloody internals. :)
For the record: JIRA made our users very happy. They have been asking
for it almost from the start and for some reason we always got
complaints about the SF issue tracker.
