Hi Matt/Dan

At the moment, IMO, the tools for feeding back the features to non- technical people are pretty immature. My colleague Dan Lucraft wrote a tool which produces a nicely-formatted PDF document from your features folder[1] which is great, but won't work with the new version (0.2) of Cucumber when it's released as the API against which such formatters are written has undergone
some significant changes for the new version.

To me the user\customer should be involved in the creation of the
stories and the acceptance criteria and by producing a pdf later in
the cycle for those stakeholders to read and understand may be argued
as something that is not Story-Driven-Development and more like
comprehendible automated tests.

Should I expect a visit from the Extreme Programing Police Aidy? ;)

I take your point, and I always try to pair with stakeholders when creating new features. I think it's also important though that when stakeholders are considering adding new features or changing existing ones that the current set of Running Tested Features is as visible as possible to them. This is one of the advantages of something like Fitnesse, where each feature is only a URL away.
