Group assignments:
- new account holders belong to the confluence-users, and can comment on things
- CA signers should be added to clojure-dev, and should be able to edit and create pages
- the core team belongs to clojure-core, and can create new spaces and do other admin-y things.
Note that Confluence groups cannot be renamed (http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONF-13571). Sorry the names aren't pefect.
These are places I went when configuring Confluence:
- The general config page lets you set the text on the dashboard
- The global logo page lets you set the logo
- The space permissions url lets you set the permissions for a space. Until you give Anonymous "view" access, spaces and history will not show up on the dashboard.
