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.
