In our company we have a lot of content and the problem that there are no or little resources for editorial staff.
We listed some of our ideas in Content Quality Metrics and are now thinking of some more ![]()
proposal of interconnections
Wouldn't it be nice, if Confluence marks words or phrases you enter in a pages body, if pages with such a name already exist in the database?
This functionality would assist the user in creating links to existing pages in a very simple manner.
E.g. the corresponding items could be highlighted with a simple button in order to make it an active link.
In order not to thwart confluence this functionality could be triggered by an extra button, e.g. <mark possible interconnections>.
This also could be a refactoring tool for existing pages.
And triggered on a regularly basis, e.g. every month all existing pages could be checked overnight and put on a list if there are more possible interconnections than a configurable threshhold.
A "worklist" of pages with a defined property (or metrics), maybe per user, would also be nice. One can then pick up a page, work on it and remove it from the worklist. Or the page could be automatically removed if the content of the list is defined by a metric and the metric of edited version of the page changed.
generation of new content using NLP and text mining
What if confluence hosted an engine capable of NLP, text mining, ontology etc. and would be the store for the results of this engine.
New content derived from the content created by humans ![]()
Sub Sections
It would be nice to have the options of making a page have subsections, specifically when it is a long page. I really like the way the openSuse wiki handles it.
