Hello Bjorn

I understand your point of view and it is obviously legitimate. Actually 
I'm even pleased by the fact that you're implying there is a final 
deadline, because it has obviously drawn on for long (I'm not going to 
expand this point right here), and it really needs to go out - now.

There are at least two reasons the Java Workflow Toolbox proposal is not 
going to die but instead go to the submitted proposal stage in the span 
of this month. The first is that we have a new major contribution 
spanning major areas (eclipse-based BPM editor with a metamodel) but as 
well others not previously covered by other projects ("Desktop User 
BPM"). The second is that JWT will be contributed by many partners, both 
industrial and institutional, in the context of the newly accepted, 
european institutions-funded project SCOrWare, that aims to build an SOA 
framework.

JWT has now also an informal board and a final-stage proposition 
accessible on the JWT wiki.

The JWT team will go back at you for the practical details before the 
end of the week.
