titleThe new BBF Wiki

The new BBF Wiki is a dynamic, interactive tool that helps members share ideas, accelerate the work and collaborate globally on new projects.

  • It allows users to create and share information in a way that was not previously possible. It contains host of new functionality to help you develop your work
  • There are links to the contribution site throughout and we have also set up the same distribution groups here that are on ARO, so you should feel right at home
  • We are just at the beginning so expect things to adapt and move as we figure out the best way to work (with everyone's help)
  • In particular, the Work Areas may need have some common structure etc.
Enjoy, please share what you are doing, etc. Mark Fishburn

titleFour new BBF web sites

There are 4 related web sites.

  1. Confluence wiki (This site)
  2. Bitbucket (Atlassian's variant on Github but with controls we required to manage IPR) code.broadband-forum.org
  3. JIRA (workflow and support). issues.broadband-forum.org
  4. The wiki will work in concert with the new BBF public site and content currently posted on as member pages on ARO with direct links from the public site to the members site. In due course editing of blogs and other content will be editable by members.

All four sites will have a common login so that once you are logged in to Confluence you will not have to login to information located in members areas of the public site, or BitBucket

About Confluence and Atlassian: Confluence is the most popular and frequently used Wiki Software with 75,000 + customers. We currently have licenses for 22 software functions and add-ons. there are literally hundreds of additional applications that are supported - mostly at a small additional cost. We will add balloting in due course

About the new public web site: This is based on Joomla, the popular open source Content Management System used by many large organizations and gives the kind of sophisticated access and functionality not available in Wordpress.
