Hello, we started recently wsht project at TouK, which aims at implementing WS Human Tasks spec (http://top.touk.pl/confluence/display/top/WSHT+-+WS+Human+Tasks+Implementation). In current version, there is implemented about 20% of spec, which includes task creation, assigning, retrieval. Persistence is implemented. Currently, there are no task escalations and notifications.
We would like to donate it to Apache and continue development here. I saw some discussion before, which pointed that this kind of project would be desired at Apache (http://markmail.org/thread/es3h3yprjrttxhlu). There was also Agila project in Apache Incubator, which was meant to implement Human Workflow solution, but it's abandoned (IMO because of too broad scope - it included BPEL engine implmentation and web console for management, details are here: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/agila/trunk). So we would like to shorten this scope and implement only services for WS Human Tasks spec. This would consist of 2 distributions (war and jbi) which would expose web services for tasks management. I saw there was some interest on ServiceMix mailing list too, so I think jbi distribution would be desired (http://markmail.org/thread/svyxd6xrm2tbwnsz). >From our side following people are willing to develop this project: - Jakub Kurlenda <[email protected]> - Mateusz Lipczyński <[email protected]> - Michał Zalewski <[email protected]> - Rafał Rusin <[email protected]> - Ula Trzaskowska <[email protected]> - Warren Crossing <[email protected]> - Witek Wołejszo <[email protected]> Is there anyone here willing to champion such project? I believe also that there can be other code bases for proposal. We are open for collaboration to get a satisfying WS Human Tasks implementation.
