these days, I have read the OMG paper and had some time to think about
it. I have the impression that it would be too much work to do in my
spare time. Action semantics is a truly non-trivial thing. If somebody
would pay me the time, I'd be happy to do it but it's too much work
for my spare time.

Gary, sorry to disappoint you...

P.S.: What do the other guys think?


Well I think executable UML is the future and therefore I'd love to be able to work on something like that as well, unfortunately it sounds like a big time consuming effort and therefore I wouldn't be able to spend as much time on AndroMDA development (which I think is more important). In addition I'm not a member of the OMG so that wouldn't work either :) It would be nice if someone who was a member of the OMG (and a user of AndroMDA) stepped up to take this on (like Gary suggested), because if that was the case, we could work with he or she on that (which would be awesome).
