Current Integration
The new SharePoint/Confluence Connector is now available.
Archived Discussion
A number of customers are interested in integrating Confluence with Sharepoint. Please feel free to contribute your ideas on how this integration will work and what functionality would be most important to you. Your ideas and use cases are important to us as it will help our developers on how best to implement such integration to meet your needs.
The generic issue for Sharepoint integration is: CONF-7349. Please do not vote for this issue, it's just a placeholder. Once we have an idea of the areas of integration that people are interested in, we will create individual issues for each area, and then you can vote for the ones that are most important to you.
 | Details, Details, Details Please be as detailed and specific as possible. We're not Sharepoint users at Atlassian, so we don't have nearly as good an idea of how Sharepoint is used inside an organisation as you do. |
Potential integration points

I'd prefer if there was a Confluence "Solution" for SharePoint that we could install and would provide a SharePoint-backed Confluence instance for the current site, with the ability to link to content elsewhere in the SharePoint site...

I will heed your call for Details the same way Microsoft heeded Steve Ballmer's call for Developers.
We're just starting to use SharePoint (SP) after a little under 2 years of using Confluence (and thus we're not exactly in a position to say "how SharePoint is used inside an organisation"). We had also been using another CMS before then, but we've recently
dumpedcopy/pastedmigrated that content to SP.What I was asking for was to continue the Confluence experience, with the additional ability to reference content in one (or more) SP site(s) and vice-versa. Examples include:
In that respect, you could think of SP as being used by Confluence simply as a data source, although it's more than an RDBMS because the SP object model already exposes things like versioning, auditing, access control, etc.
BTW, a "Solution" in the SP world is an installable [divisible] unit of functionality, not unlike Confluence "plug-ins" or, more appropriately, a library of plug-ins.

What we are looking for is that the search engine in Confluence is also searching the data in SP2007. This would make Confluence a very powerfull tool for our employees.
There is only one demand from the management. That the Sharepoint permissions en security stays intact. So if there are secure sites in Sharepoint you won't get those results back if you search from Confluence. Security is a main issue.
We kinda pushed Confluence as a knowledge tool. but from a management perspective Sharepoint en Confluence must be intergrated at least on the search engine level.
So if anyone can help us.. please

I like the structure of Sharepoint and the inevitable MS integration. However, I get frustrated with the inflexibility of sharepoint. Which is where Confluence can help.
Our team tried one scenario of inbedding Confluence pages on Sharepoint. The look an feel is ok. I would like to know if anybody has tried the opposite. Inbedding sharepoint pages on confluence instead? Sharepoint is great for creating quick lists and having a local sync with excel. It's easy for the non-high end users to start with simple trackers.

Thanks!

Essentially, an automated way of publishing the content from wiki on to SharePoint or it could be any webserver for that matter.
Also, the ability to use SP capabilities like workflow for the wiki pages for review and approval.
Thanks

The Wiki features in SP are however shocking (to my limited knowledge). I'd like to see a case where Confluence replaces the Wiki in SP, and only that. In a way that it works exactly the same. Adam, would you share how you did the integration?
I've heard of PHP wrapping in the old sharepoint, but nothing in the new V3 one.

Having Googled this and been rather disppointed with the results, can anyone point me in a good direction? For the first cut it would be OK to include Word docs as attachments to Wiki "stub" articles, but for the next pass it would be great to convert the content into Wiki articles.

There is a tool that will export the data out of SharePoint. Please see JIRA

Is it, or will it be possible to point Confluence to search more than one SharePoint instance? Reading the documentation now, if I am correct you can only search one instance from Confluence.
