OpenSocial Gadgets
What is "OAuth"? Mentioned in context of sig-on to access other gadgets.
OAuth is a protocol that allows a web application to share a finite set of its private resources and data (through gadgets, for example) with another OAuth-compliant application. You can learn more about Confluence and OAuth here http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Configuring+OAuth
Does the Confluence admin need to register all gadgets for users?
A: Yes. For security reasons, all gadgets must be registered by an administrator in order for end users to be able to access them. You can simply disable a gadget by removing it from the registered gadgets lists. Please see this page for more info on registering gadgets...http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/External+Gadgets
Drag-and-drop Attachments
Does all of the drag-and-drop functionality work in IE7 and IE8?
A: Yes. It's based on Google gears so as long as gears supports the browser it works. You can see what gears supports here. http://gears.google.com/
Is versioning supported forn drag-and dropped attachments?
A: Yes. It works just like normal attachments...when you re-upload an attachment by the same name, it simply creates a new version of the attachment. You can learn more about attachment versions here...http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Attachment+Versions
Can you drag images from a web page into a wiki page?
A: No. You can only drag images from a desktop folder onto the page.
What about cut and paste? Can you paste an image from the clipboard into a wiki page in the same way as drag/drop works?
A: No.
You do you have to install the google gears for the drag and drop to work...
A: Yes. The first time you do the drag and drop action you will be prompted to install gears onto your machine. You can learn more in our documentation at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Drag-and-Drop#Drag-and-Drop-InitialUse
I don't think that we have Google Gears installed in the enterprise. What functionality won't work without it? Only drag and drop?
A: Yes only drag and drop.
Is there any size limitation for uploading files using drag and drop?
A: The size limitation will be whatever you set as the default size limit for attachments http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/-xBqCw
Office 2007 Support
Does Office support extend to Office for Mac or do we still have to use Open Office?
A: Office for Mac support isn't yet available. Neo Office for Mac is supported and does work fine when editing attachments and pages.
What about Office 2003, is it compatible?
A: Yes, Office 2003 is still compatible, we haven't dropped that.
Editor Dialogs
When adding restrictions can you search for full names instead of just usernames?
A: Yes. In fact, it only works based on full names...search on first or last name. You can learn more about the new restrictions dialog at http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Page+Restrictions
Is it possible to customise the list of macros which appear in the Insert menu?
Currently the items in the insert menu are fixed. Please file a feature request at http://jira.atlassian.com if you want them to be configurable.
Miscellaneous
I noticed the macro viewppt in Bill's earlier presentation, is this the new version of viewfile?
A: Yes. We split up the viewfile macro into multiple macros so that people can search for the specific filetype in the macro browser. The viewfile macro still works as well. See this page for more details: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/View+File+Macro
In addition to page drafts, can you create news/blog drafts?
A: Blogs are autosaved just like other pages in Confluence. If you're looking for a "Save draft and continue editing" button then you might want to vote on this open issue...http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-1632
