As we have already reported, Anton talked about our new Apptools Maven Plugin at the Atlassian User Group Munich (AUGM)! 

The lightning talk, which took a little bit longer than the intended 2 minutes, is now available online (German)! Anton gives a brief overview over the plugin and provides some information why we did it (despite the fact the the Atlassian SDK already provides a tool to upload an app to a Confluence server).

Thank you again to everyone on the meetup, especially for your warm feedback!

And also a special thanks to Gerhard, member of the AUGM organization team, to put it online!

What is projectdoc?

The projectdoc Toolbox is a collection of a large number of tools to help teams to create modular, agile documentation collaboratively and with fun. The toolbox is an add-on for Confluence and is available on the Atlassian Marketplace.

The tools in the projectdoc Toolbox consist basically of macros, doctypes, and a handful of conventions. The number of these tools is overwhelming, especially for new users.

One Tip at a Time

Learning a new tool is not easy because users need to get their tasks done. Learning a new tool takes time, time that is not available.
