A new release of confluence has been installed. When logging in I recommend that you click the "Remember my login on this computer" (unless you are using a public computer) since it should now work and keep you logged in semi-permanently.
Please let me know if you encounter any problems with this new release of confluence.
There will be an outage of confluence starting on Jan 28 2009 (Wednesday) at 6pm and lasting for approximately 2 hours. During this outage confluence will be upgraded to version 2.10.1, and the MySQL database will be migrated to a new server. This version of confluence fixes the long standing bug which forces people to frequently re-enter their username and password, and also introduces a cleaner easier-to-navigate web interface.
If you would like to check that your pages work correctly under the new version of confluence please try:

(only accessible from within SLAC, or with VPN enabled). Note that any edits made on the "confluence-new" site prior to the upgrade will be lost.
