I'm late to the game (nice summer vacation!), but I can post my deck that lists the add-ons, although it looks like @Tinker Fadoua did some awesome note taking -- I'd expect nothing less!

Hi @Thad West

I mentioned that it was your hard work as I hate taking credit for something I didn't do.

Always a pleasure attending your presentations! Enjoy your time off!

Best,

[Bill Tanner]

Thanks for the post.  There are a few on here we are not using and I will check them out.

We also use Adaptavist Script Runner quite a bit in our JIRA environments.

@Bill Tannermy pleasure! It is not the whole list, I did my best to take notes while Thad West was presenting during a recent NOVA meetup.

@Monique vdB😊

Something is on the way for the community. I will have it ready tonight. I put it as "in progress" on the Champions Trello Board.

@Tinker Fadouathis is AAAAAAMAZING! Thanks for trying this out and showcasing the benefits of utilizing this space for AUG members who join the event or don't. 

[Tinker Fadoua]

Oh!!!!  I really didn't do anything I just copied the list that Thad worked hard on putting together. Thank you @Celina Zamora!

If you're using Confluence in more of an enterprise-CMS function instead of a true anyone-can-edit wiki, the one must-have I'd suggest would be some kinda workflow-and-approval plugin.  I used Comala Workflows. https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-workflows 

In my case, we were writing and editing FAQ answers for a helpdesk that was speaking on behalf of the US Government, so while we had some latitude in what we were allowed to say, having some consistent, measured responses required that they be reviewed by several people - some folks familiar with policy, some tech writer folks who could edit for clarity and voice, and ultimately the training folks who would see to it that this information was pushed out to the entire call-center. The business rules were

1. All new pages and changes to existing approved pages must be approved by at least three people on the content team, and then get final approval by one of the three managers on the content team
2. You cannot approve or final-approve your own page add or edit. 
3. Exception to #2: emergency page adds or changes can be immediately made by the three managers with no approval from anyone else. ...but if that's not an actual emergency, somebody is gonna give you the side-eye later.

That workflow had four basic paths (depending on who initiated the request) and a more than a dozen states, and was kind of a pain in the ass to implement on the technical side, but from the user end, it turned hours-long content review meetings into a dropdown that showed up in the app that said "you have stuff to review" that people could get to whenever they got to. People clicked on stuff, pages got approved, changes went into production. Huge time-wasting meeting eliminated.

Thanks @Huey Callison I know @Dana Jansen is always talking about these workflows :)

[Bill Tanner]

Thanks, Huey.  We do FAQ stuff as well for the government.  I will check out Comala Workflows for Confluence.
