Statistics for Confluence version usage

[Alexander Polonsky]

We recently launched a Confluence plugin on Atlassian marketplace (Mediamark). At this point, the plugin is only compatible with some Confluence versions. In order to optimize our resources, it would be useful to know the relative level of use for the major Confluence releases. The ones that interest us are only those compatible with the marketplace license manager (3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.2). Please let me know if this information is available somewhere.

Alexander,

I can give you some data on visitors to the Confluence documentation. Doc usage is not product's use level per-se but you could extrapolate some information. The data are unique page views from the last 6 months:

• CONF30 18,730
• CONF35 194,070
• CONF40 71,631
• DOC (current 4.2 space) 2,253,382

Cheers,

Mary

Thanks, although these numbers are highly influenced by the fact that the latest version doc is the default one when you access it directly from the Web.

Yes, that is true. That is why I qualified the answer. You also have to remember that our OnDemand customers are usually on the latest versions.

We're struggling with the question of what versions of Confluence to support as well. We're finding it very difficult to support both 3.5 and 5.4 as the APIs changed significantly between them, and wondering which direction we should go. Can we get an update on which versions are being used?
