If the processes use the people activity, no. If the processes call WS-HumantTask services directly, then probably yes. 2.

The Tempo project is working towards a BPEL4People-compliant implementation. http://tempo.intalio.org and most of the work to implement WS-HumanTask is being done in this branch, http://tempo.intalio.org/tempo/branches/b4p/ however integration with Apache Ode (i.e., implement the "people activity") has not yet started. alex
