At the time we knew that not developing and embedding our own Wiki in GreenPepper was an important design decision. The logic behind this choice was to relay as much as possible on a reliable and features full Wiki and concentrate our development effort on the core of GreenPepper: writing, parsing and integrating Executable Specifications (ES) within our customer's process.

Although it has its disadvantages, I think this strategy was the good one because it allowed us to provide the most complete tool set for ES in a minimal time frame. Nonetheless all this, today we evaluate supporting other Wiki.

Related to pricing, notice that we offer the products at half the price for academic or non-profit organizations and for free for open source projects.

Thanks for taking time evaluating our products,
Andre

Hi,
Actually, if you want a collaborative environment to manage your Executable Specifications (ES) you'll need at least JIRA or Confluence. You can use the GreenPepper Eclipse plug-in but in this case you will have to configure your specification as being on a <local repository>. This is certainly not an optimal set up as we think the collaborative aspect is one of the key benefits.

Regarding the Remote Agent, we built it to allow validating a remote system, a system under development that is not on the same host as the GreenPepper server. Its purpose is not to be a substitute to other ES repository.

We're currently evaluating to support others Wiki but no choice have been made yet. Suggestions are welcome.

When moving a GreenPepper installation from one machine to another, already registered confluence spaces must be update.

According to this, when moving a greenpepper server you must be sure to do the following steps:

A) Configure Server Base Url in Confluence
1- go in Upper menu "Administration"
2- select "General Configuration" on the left
3- be sure that value *Server Base Url:* reflect your current configuration

B) Update already configured Spaces
On every existing spaces that use GreenPepper:
1- go to Browse Space, select "Space Admin" tab
2- select GreenPepper on the left menu then the "Space Registration" tab
3- click "Edit" near the Confluence's Space Registration
4- click "Update". You do not need to enter any value

doing so will re-initialize already registered spaces with new _Url_ configuration

Hi,
