I am really liking what I see with Confluence and especially now with Theme Builder. I have installed my first instance of Confluence to play with, 3.1 beta. Can I use the early access TB 4.0 with this version of Confluence? I figure I should evaluate with these versions because that's what I'd want to deploy from the start. Any suggestions?

As a result the backend UI is in a bit of a state at the moment, lots of stuff is broken or barely working, the next milestone of 4 will go a long way to resolving a most of these problems, however there will still be rough edges everywhere.
If you are looking to go for a production system soon then I would recommend 3.3.6 with confluence 2.10 since IMO confluence 3.0 has too many rendering & cluster-safety issues for real world use.

JQuery sounds interesting if it means I can customize page content with data from database queries. Are the problems you sited with Confluence 3.0 fixed in 3.1 and is 3.3.6 compatible with 3.1? Plus, if I'm using Theme Builder, is the version of Confluence that important?
Thanks again.

While builder can abstract you from the majority of the foibles of confluence versions, it cant abstract you from bugs in the release of confluence you are running it on.
We have no plans to make 3.3.6 compatible with confluence 3.1.

You'll have the same 'problem' with 3.3.6 when it finally gets released to the repository in the next week or so!
We don't put our early-access releases onto PAC since the new web interface for creating the metadata is so time-consuming to use when you need to maintain two different versions for different releases of confluence that it's not worth the hassle, as such we put all of our early releases on our website, and suggest that users use the older 'plugins' link for installing them since it is more stable than the repository.
