Without entering into the "which is better" debate, Confluence can be used for free for open source projects, so I don't think the commercial/restrictive comment is a fair one in this case. It really isn't any less relevant than any other wiki implementation based on licensing/price. The fact that Qt already uses JIRA for which Confluence is well integrated (they are from the same vendor) means that this really should at least be given consideration. -- Dr Craig Scott Computational Software Engineering Team Leader, CSIRO (CMIS) Melbourne, Australia _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
