Hi John, and everybody, I'm Iván Martínez, and I'm working for UPM (Polytechnic University of Madrid), at DIT (Telematic Engineering Department) department. Two of my coleagues, Diego Moreno<http://groups.google.com/groups/profile?enc_user=M1JPfRIAAACCLteJEznDBgoRhwTuyXjRqX_DnUqlaNgHQYFGa0IZKw>and Emilio García<http://groups.google.es/groups/profile?enc_user=SHRUYRMAAAD5AfvK5wR_OfznpVZYpkZQWMj6vob75xS36mXc24h6ww>have already contributed to this group.
Some time ago Diego and some of you discussed<http://groups.google.com/group/openwferu-users/browse_thread/thread/faef1ae7484f043d>about how useful would be to have a graphical editor to make process writing easier and more intuitive. I've been working on it for some time and now I'm glad to show you the very first results. My project is called OpenWFEditor and it is based on Flash technology (made in Flex) so it can be accesed directly from the web without any instalation. It works both ways: 1- dragging graphical elements to a canvas to form a workflow and its XML source is generated automatically, 2- writing the XML process definition and it automatically draws the graph. It has "load" and "save" functionallity so you can load an existing XML process description and get its graph or save a new or edited XML. Before explaining any further, here you can give it a try (it's not 100% stable, sorry for that): http://jungla.dit.upm.es/~imartinez/wfEditor/<http://jungla.dit.upm.es/%7Eimartinez/wfEditor/> You can find some ready to load XML process definitions to load into the editor (download definitions to your local machine first and load them after that): http://jungla.dit.upm.es/~imartinez/Flujos/<http://jungla.dit.upm.es/%7Eimartinez/Flujos/> I'm trying to use a generic and well prepared architecture to make it easy to grow, specially to allow people to add more "elements" to the ones already supported. My desire is to make everything open sourced, as a contribution to OpenWFE project. At the moment, just a subset of "elements" (ruote expresions) are supported, and those are: - cursor - sequence - participant - set - if - loop - break I'm still working on it giving support to the expressions I found in this documentation <http://openwferu.rubyforge.org/expressions.html>. It would be great if you could tell me wich "elements" (ruote expressions) would you add, which ones are the most important and useful. Concluding, I would be grateful to receive your feedback about style, usability, and any other issue.
