Hi Babynus,
I was doing some internet research / rambling, and I came across an interesting piece of OpenSource software:
ProcessMaker
www.processmaker.com/community-2
It's main goal is to allow graphical creation and management of workflows.
As you already taught me before (within the CMIS server functionality thread), I should check requirements before even considering integration, so I did:
wiki.processmaker.com/index.php/2.0/Proc...llation_Requirements
It seems that it only requires HTTP server, MySQL and PHP, either on Win or Linux.
Thus, I guess (a wild one
) it may be "Project'OrRIA compatible".
Main features are listed here:
www.processmaker.com/key-features
But overall, integrating these features in Project'OrRIA (it seems) would allow:
- Portal admins to nicely (and graphically) create and mantain different workflow schemas.
- Chronological or file-arrival (through some sort of a monitor) workflow steps triggering.
- Generating forms, which are used as workflow steps triggers. People receive a form (as a message) and act on it: pressing buttons and filling in apropiate information triggers the corresponding next workflow step.
- (apparently) e-mail integration: people can interact through e-mail forms, and don't need to be logged in the system. (excellent for company/client exchange).
Not really sure about all this, but perhaps you could take a look on it and see what you think.
If all (or at least some of) those features could be integrated in Project'OrRIA (I think) it would be a great step forward regarding workflows. Since a few nice improvements around workflows are planned for v4.0, perhaps this could be Just-In-Time integration
Looking forward to hear your thoughts on the subject, Babynus. And thanks!
Cheers!
