Chris that was my first impression of Guvnor as I skimmed it.
but as with Drool I see the integration into the ofbiz model as well as
the conversion of the None HTML screens to widgets to be a lot of work.
I all for taking parts of Drool.
I will present a vocabulary soon for Business Basic. I plan to follow
the minilangquage for basis, but not in XML format.
My reasoning it there is code for the minilanquage for guts of the
compiler, just the syntax has to be done.

Hi BJ, I was responding to your comment:
"I like the design of Drool but think we need to go one step higher
and see this as how to run a business."
Guvnor has an abstraction on top of drools that is aimed at the
business user. I don't know enough about drools to comment on how it
would be integrated with the business model. I still have a lot more
learning to do around the subject...

BJ - take a look at Guvnor to see a more business end user oriented
environment for drools.

not to water down the Drool initiative this is something I have
pondered on..
if you are familiar with Excel or Spreadsheet they have a programming
interface for their macro code.
the interface includes a function list you can select functions to add
to your macro.
The Artifact(webtools) lends it self to the idea of that concept.
Html allows selection of from a list similar to Excel, spreadsheet.
I selected "BASIC"since that is what business men are use to.
If you present to a business man, some thing like Shark, BIRT, Drool
they will not use it, but get someone in their organization to do it.
Some even freak at Basic.
So how can ofbiz beat the competition. Make the interface the way a
business man uses tools today.
some years back I was commissioned to write an interface to excel that
handled Data Warehouse information and make a Cross tab presentation
in excel. Then provide Templates for different Departments.
I see that same possibility in Ofbiz and programing a openoffice
spreadsheet from Ofbiz. the Business man wold, in ofbiz build his
application then it would be exported to openoffice like we build pdf
now. the business person would still be hooked up to live data through
the ofbiz to openoffice interface.
The Data model of ofbiz has Budgeting and Budget Scenario that can
also be leverage this way.
I like the design of Drool but think we need to go one step higher and
see this as how to run a business.
