First Impressions of being a lurker
Very nice, I love the patterns, and especially the anti-patterns to avoid.
First Impressions From My First Ten Minutes Of Trying To Contribute
- When you create a personal space there is no "Edit Page" link on the upper menu bar for the home page for my personal space.

Perfect Matrioshka Bugs example: I'm trying to document problems on Wiki Patterns by adding a screen shot, and I get distracted when my wiki won't display a wiki picture that has underscores in it! Instead of !wiki_patterns_personal_edit_button.jpg! making a link to my picture, I get:
Unable to render embedded object: File (wiki_patterns_personal_edit_button.jpg) not found.

- It's not intuitive that when looking at the home page for your peronal space, that "Add A Pattern" will add a page to your personal space.
- I want to add a page to my personal space to keep track of my personal ideas for patterns until I've refined them enough to put them on the public pattern list.
- I can't seem to edit my personal space home page, so I don't know how I'll get back to my [Patterns in Progress] page. Instead I made a link from another wiki to this one so I can find it.
- When I am editing I don't see "Location", so how will I move a finished pattern to the main space? Well obviously I could create a new page, and use cut and paste, it's just startling to see the location box, that I've gotten used to on other Confluence wikis, is missing.
- No attachments, I couldn't attach a screen shot of the missing edit button.
- Can't easily get to the info page to look at revision history for a page. I finally got to it, but I had to hack the URL in my browser by cutting and pasting url pieces from the url on another Confluence wiki.
- Can't find the browse space link for my personal space.
- I finally figured out how to hack a link to my changes on wiki patterns
