Stephan and I have worked out a plan to represent the progress of a
student through a school as a wfmc workflow.  Each grade level will be
an activity.  The site administrator needs to be able to set up the
sequence of levels via the web interface.

Down the road it should make it easy to extend and customize this
process for different types of schools in different countries.  We
hope ;-)

Part of the terms of our agreement with Stephan is that the work goes
into the SchoolTool repository under the Shuttleworth Foundation's
copyright and licensed under the GPL.  Whether or not we also release
it for inclusion in the Zope 3 core is pretty much Mark Shuttleworth's
decision, but I see no reason to think that he wouldn't allow it when
Stephan is finished with the contract.  Mark's paying for the work
though, so it is his decision.

Administrators need to be able to manipulate workflow definitions via an 
interface online, so that manipulating XML files is definitely not an option. 
Also, those administrators only deal with all of this on a very high level 
and its the system's task to keep integrety.

But I have to play around with this some more, before I can see the full 
picture.

> Do you plan to add this to the zope.wfmc trunk ?

eventually, I plan to put it into zope.app.wfmc.

Stephan

Hi,

Can we have your use cases ?

Do you plan to add this to the zope.wfmc trunk ?

I'll note here that I will be developing local/persistent workflow definitions 
for the SchoolTool project, since we really need it there in a certain use 
case.

I'm not working on a general purpose UI for this.  I have a UI

To some degree, I think interesting workflow UI's are largely

you might contribute to the Z3ECM project or work with Stephan.

Yes, I'm looking into have a worklist and a working workflow

I agree we don't need a  workflow UI on the Zope3 core for the zope.wfmc
component. The zope.wfmc component should act as a Python wfmc process
interpretor only.

Roger, we'll certainly need UI for the Zope3 / ECM project [1]_

.. _[1] http://svn.nuxeo.org/trac/pub/browser/z3lab/ecmworkflow/

*but* since we are implementing a wfmc standard the UI doesn't need to
be in Zope. Workflow editors exist :

check http://jawe.objectweb.org

I think it's a bad idea thinking about Zope persistent definitions at
this stage. I'd rather work with xpdl files, read them on runtime and
put them in a *non* persistent XPDL definitions registry. The rest can
be managed with Jawe for instance.


I assume that Roger was thinking about UI for things like work lists or

We are already thinking about an eclipse app wich could be a little bit
simplier than Jawe for end-users on the long term.


Cool.  I look forward to hearing more.

Jim
