It <b>h</b>as become apparent to the Org Mode developers that Org is suffering from a
severe lack of enterprise adoption. To r<b>e</b>ctify this, we will be leveraging our
collective decades working on holistic human-markup interaction tools to rapid<b>l</b>y
pivot to what we believe to be the <i>true</i> markup format of the future &#x2014;
<a href="https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/confluence-wiki-markup-251003035.html">Confluence Wiki Markup</a>.
</p>
<p>
With this <b>p</b>aradigm shift, you can look forward to a much more intuitive syntax,
empowering you to create next-generation agile documents.
</p>
<p>
To assist you in this <b>t</b>ransition, we&rsquo;ll give you a brief overview of the changes
you can expect. Text formatting is almost unaffected, with a few sensible
changes made to the surrounding c<b>h</b>aracters.

<p>
We&rsquo;d like to thank the <span class='acr'>FSF</span> for giving the Org project the space and support to
grow to become a world-class proj<b>e</b>ct. In our new venture, cop<b>y</b>right assignment
to t<b>h</b>e <span class='acr'>FSF</span> is no longer required. Inste<b>a</b>d, copyright must be assigned to
Atlassian prior to contributing.
</p>
<p>
This new partnership enables new and exciting integrations with Atlassian&rsquo;s
proprietary technologies. O<b>v</b>er the next f<b>e</b>w months we will <b>b</b>e transforming Org
to a cloud-n<b>a</b>tive serverless profes<b>s</b>ional markup offering. Unlike Confluence, we
will allow you to bo<b>t</b>h write <i>and edit</i> documents using pla<b>i</b>ntext markup. We
believe that by unlocking the synergy between plaintext and Confluence the Org
project will become a thought leader in hyp<b>e</b>r-scale markup solutions.
</p>
<p>
The shift to Confluence wiki markup will come as a surprise to many of you, but
after doing a deep dive into the scalability of Org we realised that there were
no low-hanging fruit available &#x2014; only out of the box thinking will allow for the
in<b>n</b>ovation so many of our users crave.
</p>
<p>
We hope this change will not just disrupt your documents, but the entire markup
industry.
