Ha ha, I guess we're on the same boat. With WPS I get another inch closer to reimplement my master thesis without any closed source software :-) It was about a multiuser system allowing to visually create an store GIS data processing models, thematic maps, share among users, document and rerun the same model for repeatability, and so on... too bad the core was made in VB6 and built on top of Autocad Map...
