Yes, this is all part of ruote-fluo (http://github.com/jmettraux/ruote-fluo). The latest version of ruote-fluo is trimmed down, but unfortunately works only with Firefox 3 (ability to draw text directly in the canvas, via mozDrawText). I hope that Safari will catch up soon (the canvas html5 spec has been updated as well) and I hope the guys behind excanvas (http://excanvas.sourceforge.net/) will catch up as well. I was already thinking about integrating the latest ruote-fluo into ruote-rest (of course only for the human-targetted html rendering, not for the json/xml renderings), it helps people understand what the workflow/bpm engine is about. ruote-fluo is heavily javascript based, it only requires the ruby backend in order to translate XML/Ruby process definitions into JSON trees. >> Me (we) too.

I like this variant 3, maybe you have a favourite Python web framework that you want to put in front. Sorry for being always a bit verbose, but I try to be informative about the project status.
