What does it mean to say that wikis create “transparency”?
Transparency is an important aspect of all wikis. Transparency enables communication and provides the playground for collaboration. At Atlassian, we use Confluence as our intranet and give complete transparency between spaces and pages throughout the company. It allows people to stay in synch with the various projects in each team and cut down on the number of emails that people send. We’ve found cross-functional transparency a vital part of knowledge building and sharing within the company. We do, however, recognise that in many instances it’s helpful to limit permissions and access to different spaces and pages. Confluence lets you choose which users and groups should receive permissions to which spaces and pages.
