Re: OSCOM 2002 Berkeley

Michael,

Glad that you had a good time at OSCOM  and thank you for
the update.
Will wait for poor Gregor's wrapup.
;-)

Am wondering ...
"Should content mgt implementations include business
process descriptions?"
and
"Can Wyona make business process descriptions pluggable?"

Commercially, the startup at www.intalio.com sponsors the
"Business Process Modeling Language."

I'm certain that many of us out here on the list appreciate
the results produced by your ongoing work.

All the best,
John
