Atlassian (news, site) says they don't implement features just for the sake of it. That all enhancements to their solutions are based on customer feedback and needs.

All show just how far the wiki has come in only a few short years.

The delivery approach of a traditional on-premise product or solution is typically a single installation for each implementation you want. So if you wanted, say, completely separate wikis for departments or customers, you would install the software separately for each department. That no longer needs to be the case. eTouch now offers their SamePage enterprise wiki solution with a multi-tenancy on-premise deployment model. One installation, many wikis.

Fresh, original content is a website’s most valuable asset. It keeps users coming back, and most importantly, gives a website a higher search ranking and more ad sales. So when a service promises to add tons of fresh, user-generated content with only a few lines of code — for free — you can see why a lot of heads have been turning — many of which have money to invest.
