Hi guys,

some input:

* capturing the initiator shouldn´t be linked in any way with tasks. We have 
processes withtout tasks, but we still need the information who started this 
process
* we use a swimlane for the initiator. The swimlane evaluates a variables we 
pass in on process start. In the process we use this swimlane to reference to 
the initiator.
* after a process has finished the initiator information shoudn´t be lost. We 
need to be able to find  process instances (running and finished) "per 
initiator". Therefore, we additionally create a history variables to persist 
this information.

Currently, we provide the initiator information on process start to let the 
swimlane know the value. And then, we create a history variable for it, which 
is (programatically) only possible after the process has been started. A bit of 
the same work twice, but it works and happens automatically in our system. We 
did´t want to the user to specifiy history variables it in the process 
definition for the initiator, as it´s a requirement that must always be met.

Cheers,
Charles
