Re: Information request - OSWorkflow

Pedro,
OSWorkflow is a free open source workflow engine, we don't really do these
kinds of evaluation requests. You are free to evaluate/use OSWorkflow on
your own of course, as it is open source. There are documents at
http://wiki.opensymphony.com, but in general, as with most open source
projects, it is really not up to the author to do any work to "sell" the
product to others.

Hello,

We are analising 5 workflow tools to dicover if they are appropriated to
our project. So, we have a simple form to colect some detailed information
about the tools. A document with some questions is attached. We need to
decide how tool to use quickly, so we ask your help.

We are waiting the answers.

Thanks,

Pedro.
