In fairness, "Wiki engine" to me made me think Confluence was based off of XWiki or something similar and that you contributed that, rather than a Wiki macro renderer.

Additionally, Confluence being born from it seems like something someone should have the receipts to as well.

Maybe someone can reach out to Mike about it.

Yes you're right, apologies for creating a misunderstanding (see my edit above).

Not sure, it was 20+ years ago, but I might remember XWiki also using my wiki render engine back then, but I could be wrong ;-)

(it could be a reimplementation of the interface)

"The XWiki Syntax 1.0 was supporting Radeox macros."

The group of people back then was small.

I've started work on this even before Wikipedia was started, just as a point of reference.
