I view choosing for Lenya workflow as choosing to build/use a Cocoon-independent solution (with an adapter to make it accessible in Cocoon) instead of building a solution using Cocoon-specific technology. There are a number of existing implementations which can be used as a starting point for a Cocoon-independent solution. I feel other implementations are more mature than Lenya workflow and will be a better choice to use as a starting point. I think OSWorkflow is a good option, but jBpm looks very promising (I suggest to give the demo a try). Both these technologies are license-compatible with Cocoon.
yes, from a license point of view the choice seems to come down to
jBpm OSWorkflow Lenya
Maybe we should try to characterize the differences and similarities within
the Wiki in order to get a better picture (at least I need to do this for myself ;-)
Good idea, I have made a start: http://wiki.cocoondev.org/Wiki.jsp?page=WorkflowImplementationComparison. Michael, could you add the information about Lenya workflow? If anybody thinks a property/capability or implementation is missing, please add it to the table.
At Hippo we are interested in how Stefano's implementation using Flow would look like, and how Peter's implementation using XSLT would look like. Could you post a sample of how you expect the code would look like if the framework was already there? Thanks.
I won't be able to respond to messages the next two weeks fortunately. I will be on holiday in (hopefully) sunny Turkey. I'll be back April 5.
Makes sense?

+1 to start with Lenya workflow.
