Gliffy?
In case you've never heard of it (I certainly hadn't), Gliffy is a
Visio-like program that does everything through a Web site. I played
with it briefly and it seemed quite good, which surprised me because I
hate most Web apps like this. Anyway, it can handle UML and ER
diagrams, which is something Cayenne uses and could probably even use
more of. The reason I mention all this though, is that they have a
plugin for Confluence, so you can do collaborative diagramming right in
a regular documentation page. It is commercial, but they offer free
licenses for OSS.
Is there any interest in getting an OSS license for the Gliffy plugin
for Confluence? I think it could lower one of the documentation hurdles
a fair bit.

Yeah. Didn't even think of gliffy when I did them - it is pretty
second nature to me to just launch Omnigraffle. Plus it produces such
nice looking diagrams. To be honest I didn't go past the 'create new
diagram' screen in gliffy when I stumbled across it a few months back.

Cool. I must have missed that.
Out of curiosity then, why did you do the inheritance diagrams in
OmniGraffle? Just a case of familiarity?

Just click "add diagram" in the top right corner of Confluence
already installed. You'll see gliffy is already there in our install.
