"Mr. X" or should a small team consider XWiki as a possible replacement for Confluence?

If I understand everything correctly, Atlasian stopped selling the server version of Confluence in February 2021.





On February 2, 2021 Pacific Time (PT), the following changes will go into effect:





- End of new server license sales: You can no longer purchase or request a quote for a new server product.





- Updates to server prices: We will implement new prices for server renewals and upgrades.

In general, I'm still happy with the choice, and people seem to be used to it, so if you are not pretentious, you have enough will and patience, and you also have website layout skills, then Xwiki can be considered as a replacement for Confluence.





This publication turned out to be rather superficial, but the last article on Habré at the request of Xwiki was almost 5 years ago , so I decided that it is still worth "synchronizing watches" and publishing my view on the current version.





If the story with Xwiki seems interesting to you, then I will write another article, in which I will describe in more detail some of the functions and techniques that I had to master during the first months of its operation.
