Re: [stp-pmc] BPMN Diagramming

[Oisin Hurley <ohurley@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Rich,
Just very recently, Intalio have made a contribution (which has not
yet been approved by EMO - it's in process) which consists of a
BPMN editor, based on GMF (bugzilla id 156018). I've taken the
liberty of adding you to the cc: list to keep you up to date with
what's happening there. This contribution was committed to back
at the dawn of the project and has been expected for some time.

Let's get together and see how we can cooperate on this -
Alex Boisvert is our BPMN guy (he's just been added to this
list :) and I'm sure he's will have lots of good suggestions.

Can you link us to the appropriate GMF tutorials?

  best regards
