Hi Pat, for now, Densha is just to be an "OpenWFEru on Rails" example / showcase. I have to think about the "REST interface" thing, maybe it's better to let it be a separate thing (an option to Densha or other OpenWFEru instances). There are more and more people googling for "rails workflow engine" or "openwferu on rails", so I made my move forward and I'm having fun. There is also Matt's work : http://code.google.com/p/fluxr/ but it seems a bit stalled (at revision 3) these days. Matt seems to be willing to provide something RESTful, whereas Densha is a web application (for human direct consumption). We'll see, looking forward what happens with you and Matt.
