I'm no fan of Jira or Confluence but you'll get forgotten wiki articles, for example, no matter what tech you choose.

Confluence? Forgotten

Git repos? Forgotten

Notion? New hotness, still forgotten

Google Docs / Office 365 ? Forgotten

This is just a difficult problem to solve, especially for organisations growing at speed.

> Git repos?

One of these things is not like the other, and anybody who uses a real editor and VCS but still has to deal with confluence or the rest of the above knows it.

Child poster below going on about markdown etc is absolutely wrong.

You're aware that you can dynamically generate wiki pages from git repos using (you guessed it) confluence, right? The problem is people, not tooling.

If you dynamically generate confluence pages from a git repo, what do you need confluence for? That’s a lot of money you can save.

How? Does it involve a 3rd party plugin? If so that’s DOA for any org concerned about security.

How do you do that without yet another third party addon not even supported by Atlassian? (if you say via the api...)

Agree, that's why I post that the discipline and management is required, not some specific tool - no tool solves the people problems adequately.

Don’t forget Markdown, ReStructured text, asciidoc; forgotten useless garbage.

Agreed, it’s a total waste of time, I’d say our managements love for JIRA is the things that’s really holding us back from really being productive and enjoying our work. It’s such a horrible horrible time suck and offers nothing of real value.
