Confluence as Personal Wiki

ATLASSIAN CONFLUENCE AS A PERSONAL WIKI “While you may not be able to develop a photographic memory, there are some things you can do to improve your 'memory'.” [ http://www.exforsys.com/career-center/memory-skills/photographic-memory.html ]

WHY A PERSONAL WIKI ANYWAY? “Knowledge-based industries come to represent ever-larger portions of the global economy, the importance of knowledge increases for knowledge-based corporations, institutions, and organizations as a source of competitive advantage.quot; - Drucker 1992 “But I'm not a company, WTF?!” Not quite, but: quot;As the lifetime of knowledge decreases, the necessity for lifelong learning increases. Knowledge is becoming ever more important as an individual good, a social resource, and an economic agent of production.” - Drucker 1994, Reinmann-Rothmeier 2000; Reinmann-Rothmeier & Mandl, 1999 And: “Knowledge workers need techniques to sort, analyse and archive relevant information to handle and use today's flood of information.” - Hube 2005

THERE ARE SO MANY WIKIS – WHY CONFLUENCE? Coming to think of it, I'm using Confluence as a personal Wiki... For an exhaustive list of Wiki-Software check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wiki_software

...because I love it. Ok, the world doesn't revolve around me, so let's look at the facts that might make you love your Confluence personal Wiki as well...

THE POWER OF CONFLUENCE I Easy to install: ● Creation of different Wiki-Spaces: ● Dynamic Task Lists: ●

THE POWER OF CONFLUENCE II PDF Export: ● Search includes Attachments: ● You can tag Sites in your Wiki-Spaces: ● There's a Blogging Functionality ●

THE POWER OF CONFLUENCE III Easy WYSIWYG Editor: ● Powerful but easy to learn Wiki-Syntax: ● - Similar to HTML, e.g. h1. to h6. for Headlines - Macros such as {panel} to design a Wiki page Easy Table of Contents: ●

HOW YOU COULD USE IT Jot down the Gist of Non-Fiction Books, articles, etc. ● This way: - You don't have to remember everything - You wont't have to browse your notepad to look for the page where you actually wrote it down - A notepad is not “searchable” Organize your life: ● - If you're working on several projects, create a Wiki-Space for each one and leverage the power of Confluence - If you're on a call or in a meeting, you can save your minutes to your Wiki instead of taking “traditional notes” HOW I'M CURRENTLY USING IT I'm trying to write Master's thesis with it ;-) ●
