Techcrunch : Atlassian gives Confluence a makeover, acquires Good Software
Atlassian today announced a new version of Confluence <https://www.atlassian.com/software/confluence>, its collaboration platform.... ....To do this, Atlassian also today announced that it has acquired Good Software <https://www.goodsoftware.co/>, a company that makes analytics tools for Confluence users and admins. In total, Atlassian is announcing 15 new features for the product. Unsurprisingly, given the acquisition of Good Software, one of these new features is extended analytics. With this, Confluence users will be able to see how others in their company engage with their content. The idea here, Atlassian says, is to help everybody write better content and not just see who writes the most popular copy (though that’s surely how this will also be used). There are some other uses here, too, though. An HR manager may notice that a page with outdated information is still getting hits, for example..... .....Another major new feature is the introduction of an updated editor. The core features of this new editor are actually shared across most Atlassian products now, but as Pratima Arora, the company’s head of Confluence, told me, that editor is then tweaked for the individual products. For Confluence, this means support for the ever-important feature of adding emojis to your pages, but at the core of that is the new slash (/) command that, similar to Slack, lets you add tables, images and macros to your pages. Other new features include the ability to easily create better-looking tables of content, action items, roadmaps and due dates, as well as smartlinks that automatically preview content for services like Google Drive, Dropbox, Trello, GitHub and others. All of this is meant to make organizing content just a little bit easier.... ...Also new are a set of new templates and a new media experience."

Is there going to be a way for users to opt out of this tracking? Are users notified about what aspects are being tracked/measured/analyzed? Julf
Hi Julf Not sure and icann IT may not choose to move to this new version or even turn on these features. We had to ask several times to get the collaboration tools turned on. Each new version has a different impact on the wiki and the old pages and so links have to be checked before icann adopts a new version Judith Sent from my iPhone Judith@jhellerstein.com Skype ID:Judithhellerstein

Hi, Judith,.
Not sure and icann IT may not choose to move to this new version or even turn on these features.
Good point - I guess the broader question is if ICANN has a privacy/ tracking policy covering users of services provided by ICANN. Julf
Great question Julf Beran
