Personally, I consider support for human participation in workflows to be
vital, so I'd be in favor of accepting a contribution to further that
goal.


I think there's still several pieces missing to get a solid set of BPM
bricks in the ASF. ODE is just the first part but I'd personally like to see
the following pieces implemented and made to work together:

  - a web service orchestration engine (ODE)
  - human participation (could be Tempo)
  - small footprint, embeddable process execution environment,
  addressing the "programming in the small" set of problems (ala jbpm)

There's much more than that to BPM but that's a lot of work already and we
can't dilute ourselves too much. However I think that's what we should push
for.
