We have to decide every day which products an tools to use. Normally they should be easy to use, stable ..... but in the end every webtool that is used by more than 2 people (normally this is intended) needs attention and management. Thanks for the link - this reminds me that i haven't published any stuff about testing until now. I would not say that comparing the two products is a bit unfair.

But compare it to Mingle is a bit unfair because Mingle in it's current state is simple a task management and -transition tool, as was JIRA in the beginning. The big advantage is that Mingle is simple, flexible and has a good metaphoric, cards, to visualize the current state. The problem that I've with JIRA/Confluence is that you need someone who knows the tools and manage them otherwise it becomes a complete mess. GreenPepperSoftare also provides another very interesting tool, called Pepper Server, which is a integration of JIRA/Confluence/Maven for testing. There is also a free version which could be found at http://www.greenpeppersoftware.com/en/greenpepperopen/GreenPepperOpen/.
