The Plan
We will be upgrading Commons to Confluence 4.2 on Sunday, 11/4, starting at 10am. The system will most likely be up within 3 hours, but a number of manual adjustments will be required post-upgrade, causing some pages to have display issues beyond that time.
Commons hosts a number of external facing websites, including BISICLES, Chombo, CIO, Facilities, Human Resources, IT Division, Neaton Group, Nuclear Science Division Safety Culture and sustainLBL.
Impact
Wiki markup - the way pages were written and stored in the past goes away. Content will now be stored natively in HTML5 and a richer editing experience will become available. This represents the single biggest upgrade we have undertaken since Commons was first deployed at the lab.
With 4.2 comes a significant upgrade in page editing capabilities. For more information, go here.
