Dear Bruno, I understand your concern and thanks for pointing it out.
I forked it since couple of clients wanted to see workflows in mayan. We at Upayog Solutions provide dms services to clients. So for the demos I thought of creating this fork. This was the first time I was looking at Mayan internals more deeply. So had to create some hacks too. I hoped thar some body might also benefit from the forked version. So that was the intention.
