The OpengGeo suite bundles GeoServer, but it's not the "normal" one that the geoserver.org community produces. It has a different theme, and a set of plugins that are either missing from the normal GeoServer, or that are considered community (unsupported) modules in GeoServer, but are supported ones in the suite (and possibly vice-versa, not sure). The relationship between the suite and GeoServer is sort of one way, Boundless contributes to the development of GeoServer (and we are grateful for that), but the suite, besides being open source from the licensing stand-point, provides no way for others to get engaged and contribute (no mailing lists, no formalized way to contribute changes and/or discuss them): let's say, open source but closed project management, it's really a company product instead of an open project like GeoServer. This is why we normally don't give support for the GeoServer bundled in the suite in this mailing list, but prefer to get reports about the official version geoserver.org releases instead (since we can know for sure what's in them). > What version of geoserver should I be using to work with the qgis plugin? > Can I use it with the server version in the suite? (2.4.snapshot) > The qgis plugin is managed the same way as the rest of the suite, hopefully someone from Boundless will chime in and provide some idea, but I hear their preferred support channel is stackexchange using the #boundless tag... and oh!
