Dear all First tx for ruote development and maintenance over the years. I won't debate on is ruby bad or good, bad developers and more importantly bad designers will succeed in project failures even with perfect tools. I have been using ruote together with rails and rails was the pain, neither ruote nor the integration of the two worlds. A few comments then (and may be a stream for "flon" could be created): - ruote concepts are far beyond any average designer/developer understanding because at start they do not exactly get what is a business process. look how many questions you had about participants and what is it... - ruote is may be too low level: i m pretty sure that if you wrap up your tool in a sexy GUI more people will like it. A GUI with predefined actions would probably restrict the use of ruote but it could gain in accessibility - ruote admin is probably again too low level although there were very good things available with ruotekit. but i experienced a hand over case and people were scared by it. Anyway, many thanks again and let us know about your new flon Christophe
