Peter, great post mate!

Disclaimer: I work for Atlassian, the creators of Confluence.

We use our internal instance of Confluence to create mockups of the UI for new features in our products. The Balsamiq Mockups plugin is a great tool that facilitate this process in the wiki – http://www.balsamiq.com/products/mockups

@callum @terry we r working on allowing batch upload of images in the core product for our 3.1 release. In the interim you an always use WebDAV – https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/236

@neil if you use Firefox and Confluence you can drag and drop images/files onto pages using this Firefox Plugin – http://confluence.atlassian.com/x/aoJiCw

@paul Like Deki, Confluence also supports hierarchy. Content is organised into spaces (you can have an unlimited no. of spaces) and each space then has it’s own hierarchy of parent and child pages. Re: content transclusion, I’ve written a series of blogs on this topic – http://blogs.atlassian.com/news/2009/03/organisation_is.h…

@Jason Wikis are just one part of set of tools that can be used by development teams. You may be interested in checking this out – http://www.atlassian.com/agile/

@don our tech writers use the DITA2Confluence tool – http://ffeathers.wordpress.com/2008/10/26/playing-with-di…
