no need to.. we are all more or less on the list. ;)

btw. I looked today the video.. not that bad what they did! I was also 
surprised that it works for vector data as well (currently OpenJUMP does 
not have much raster data/image date support).

However, as you seem to be not that familiar with GIS, I would also 
recommend to have a look on the (excellent) Modell Builder of ESRI's 
ArcGIS. I knew also a project that used YAWL for graphical modeling (see
paper: http://aci.ign.fr/Portland/paper/ICA2006-Petzold.pdf
presentation: http://aci.ign.fr/Portland/oral/ICA-WS06-Petzold.pdf ). 
But It looks graphically not that much appealing, although it may be 
flexible.
