As a software engineer, myself, though, with almost 15 years
of experience, and as someone who has set up and run several
wiki setups, I have to agree with Cristobal. If you haven't yet
found bugs in a product, then you haven't looked hard enough.
Software is too complex to not have any bugs at all. I wish
that were not true, but it is. Your "endorsement" however,
glosses over that and makes it seem like it's bug free.

We use Confluence for the purpose Mr. Parker described and haven't found any bugs. I'm sure there's a database at Atlassian full of bugs on the product, as anyone in software knows, however, none of those bugs are ones we reported, as compared to other products where we have to file bugs every week just to keep it running.

We chose Confluence because at the time it was the only one that combined the following features:

1. Hook into version control.
2. Fine-grain control over security.
3. Hierarchical refactoring.

We started using it when it first came out years ago, so other programs may have well caught up in this regard, I don't know, as my post wasn't a comprehensive overview of the current state of wiki-dom.
