Hello Reed,
welcome to the ruote mailing list.
I'm not sure I understood correctly, let me suggest some solutions and you'll
correct me.
I guess you're using "concurrence" because using the cursor would be too
slow (though it has a rewind) ?
---8<---
concurrent_iterator :on => '${f:coauthors}', :tag => 'coauthor_forms', :to_var
=> 'v' do
cursor do
participant 'coauthor-${v:v}', :task => 'complete_information'
participant 'coauthor-${v:v}', :task => 'submit_copyright'
participant 'coauthor-${v:v}', :task => 'submit_disclosure'
end
end

What about doing the multi-step in your web framework ?
---8<---
concurrent_iterator :on => '${f:coauthors}', :tag => 'coauthor_forms', :to_var
=> 'v' do
participant 'coauthor-${v:v}', :task => 'complete_and_submit'
end

The 3 forms would be dealt with the same workitem session. (Sorry, I know it
means more work for you).
In such cases, I tend to use something like quaderno:
https://github.com/jmettraux/quaderno/
Where I have one tab per "checklist":
http://ruote.rubyforge.org/quaderno/readme_0.html
The participant receives one workitem but the it contains multiple form
units.
What do you think ?
