Hello Asier,

ruote 2.x supports process definition expressed with the help of Ruby,
via JSON or via XML :

  
http://github.com/jmettraux/ruote/blob/ruote2.1/test/functional/ft_22_process_definitions.rb
  http://github.com/jmettraux/ruote/blob/ruote2.1/test/unit/ut_16_parser.rb
  http://github.com/jmettraux/ruote/blob/ruote2.1/test/unit/ut_9_xml_parser.rb

There are lots of tests under :

  http://github.com/jmettraux/ruote/tree/ruote2.1/test/functional/

The ruote-kit tests are visible at :

  http://github.com/kennethkalmer/ruote-kit/tree/master/spec/resources/

We hope to start a ruote-spec / ruote + cucumber initiative/project to
test/spec process definitions soon.

And we're just about to release 2.1.4. You'll find some of the reason
for the shift explained at :

I've notified Kenneth of this request, we're a bit busy right now.
We'll come up with doc and blog posts as quickly as possible,
meanwhile feel free to fire questions.

If you have "no ground" in Ruby, maybe you should read Ruby
quickstarts first else, our quickstart will be unintelligible for you
;)
