Tue, 28 Nov 2006 00:32:23 +0000 http://www.gliffy.com/blog/?p=34#comment-2284 [...] We have been working very hard lately ( especially Chris, remember secret #2 ? ) on getting the Gliffy Plugin for Confluence released. Confluence is the world’s most popular Enterprise Wiki made by one of Australia’s fastest growing companies, Atlassian. Wiki’s have swept through the business community as of late as a key tool to allow colleagues to collaborate documents and other knowledge capital. Up until now, it has been impossible to dynamically create rich diagrams within a wiki. Gliffy Inc. has seamlessly integrated our beloved Gliffy Diagram Editor into Confluence, to take collaboration within Wiki’s to the next level. Showing great looking diagrams inside a wiki has never been so easy. Take a look at the example below: [...] [...] We have been working very hard lately ( especially Chris, remember secret #2 ? ) on getting the Gliffy Plugin for Confluence released.

Nice work guys, this is all coming together big-time, starting to use it more. Multiple pages, clean printing, page numbering, dynamic headers/footers, export / import visio and all that nice stuff should be visible to freebie users, but somehow crippled. This way us cheap-os can marvel at the magic and actually play with it, and then get frustrated enough to fork over some cash. All the best.

Ideally, for us, #3 would not be tied to any single solution but would be open in where it can publish to. We have both proprietary and also open source CMS and Wiki systems in use. Rob Chrisk,

We are starting to address the #3 by offering a version of Gliffy that plugs into Confluence, the popular Enterprise Wiki solution. http://www.atlassian.com. We are entering beta testing of this new product this week. Please let me know if you would be interested in trying it out. As for the other suggestions, these are all great ideas, and have been popular requests. We'll be working hard to address the most requested issues as quickly as possible. thanks! -chrisk Hi Rob,

I showed this to an interest group in our 50000+ employee enterprise and the feedback has been positive. People want to start using it right away as it solves the problem of too few Visio licenses to go around and too many people in too many places needing to diagram Right Now. So, here are three things that would make this very palatable for us to buy it: 1) Import/Export Visio files 2) Import/Export to/from popular IDE environments for UML collaboration 3) Provide a way to secure diagrams in an extranet or standalone fashion so that enterprises can share sensitive internal diagrams without risk of exposing them to the public internet. Okay, four things: 4) Ability to easily design and add new stencils (libraries?) to Gliffy. You may well have an enterprise customer if I have anything to say about it.

The trick for us is that we need to focus on making a few bucks, and I'm not really sure how making the product GPL helps us do that. The reality is that there are no web based GPL competitors right now. Generally, when I see products go open source, the reason is because they have competitors, and open sourcing is a good way to undercut the competition. We're always open to outside opinion and ideas, so if you could explain further exactly why going GPL would enable us to create a sustainable business, I would very much appreciate it.

Otherwise there are good competitors like OpenOffice well combined with say OpenClipart. The best news would be to have this tool in GPL.
