I didn't want to bash confluence/jira - they have been running very
well for months (pre 1.0 ;-)). And if there are so many people on list
who could help fix it, maybe use the community efford?

 About half the time I need to check out the wiki, it's down.  Any more
 permanent solutions on the way?

Sorry to chip in here, and I know you guys are busy and so on, but
it's been down all day I think. (At least my day - CET)

Not that I (personally) require anyone to permanently check this,
especially on a Saturday, but would it be possible setup Nagios or for
example purchase services from Pingdom (0) (cheap + easy to setup) so
whoever is in charge of the server gets an SMS when it's down.

And what about installing Mediawiki? It has to be more stable when
wikipedia uses it.

And the issue system has been down too. :-( Can't the Confluence
people help you guys? I mean, it looks bad for them as well when their
software constantly has hickups. It's not like the current performance
makes a great case study.

For what it's worth, back at USC the IT department setup a Confluence server
for by other departments/classes. It never had a very high load (I think my
class was the only one that used it), but it was constantly going down. At
one point it was bad enough that the professor just told everybody to write
everything in a text editor, including edits to existing pages (just in
case), and batch everything up until the next time the server was available.

As to how much of this was Confluence's fault and how much was USC's fault,
I couldn't tell you. But it's certainly not the first time I've seen a
