No. I assume this list will have no more than 100 entries (I guess there will
be up to 20). No need to make it faster.

It's only a filter. Simple filter, java code based filter, the only changes I
am expecting are:
1.
WorkflowServiceImpl.java :: method: listAvailableWorkflowDefinitions.
2.
Optional parameter to the endpoint.
3.
Workflows parser & storage - a support for node: <tags> with data type of
NMTOKEN (For simplicity).
All optional, so it will not have affect on installation that have their own
workflow definitions or their own JQuery code to access the list of workflows
without this optional parameter.

Hey! If this would be the case, I would just fill in a bug report! :-)
Or comment on 8780 :-)
Of course, I will attach a patch to MH-8780.
Just need to make sure nobody is working on similar feature.
BTW:
As mentioned: We are starting slow, because we want to contribute features that
will improve the server (I hope this one will).
I have started with typos etc. Now we are moving forward with small things like
this one.

First:
(1) it solves 8780
(2) allows filtering workflow definitions.
different set of workflows for scheduler
different set of workflows for upload page
different set of workflows for capture agent
------ and then way ahead: ----
Assume Matterhorn will provide an interface (episode service) for users that
want to operate on published videos.
(3) it can be easily extended to handle filtering by role...
all that needs to be added it support for user role in
WorkflowServiceImpl.java :: method: listAvailableWorkflowDefinitions.
+ some clear rules how to add appropriate tags, and there you go.
I will try to post details later this week.
