Confluence Overview
This Confluence space is a living example of how to share information with others. You may edit these pages or add to the space whenever you wish. In fact, we encourage you to do so. 
Please direct any sales related questions to sales@atlassian.com or please view our help process if you need general help.
The main idea of Confluence is to make it easy for you to share information with others; team-members, family, and friends. Confluence, at its base, was built on the principle of a Wiki.
A Wiki or wiki (pronounced "wicky" or "weekee", see pronunciation section below) is a website (or other hypertext document collection) that allows a user to add content, as on an Internet forum, but also allows that content to be edited by any other user. (from wikipedia)
Confluence has many features which extend beyond average wikis. Please find a few of these in the list below. You may also find a growing list at the Confluence Documentation homepage .
