Hi Pat, thanks a lot for your answers. We're (John + Diego) waiting for the final WfXML-R, keep up at it. About XPDL, I've got something of a beginning at : http://github.com/jmettraux/ruote-transition, turning XPDL into Ruote trees of expressions. Nobody's been using it so far. I've been struggling lately to make Ruote web interfaces closer to this "tree of expressions" representation of process definitions and instances, meaning that Ruote definitions are very close to Ruote execution models. Advantage : what you see is what gets executed (and you can modify the instance) Disadvantage : Ruote will never be a "direct XPDL" engine (well XPDL is a serialization format after all). There will always be a compilation step from XPDL to Ruote expression trees. On the other hand, I've been doing some preparation work on a potential <graph> expression for Ruote that would make XPDL -> Ruote 'compilation' easier. We'll see. So your idea of finding a decent BPMN editor with XPDL serialization still prevails.
