Ouch, that seems like it's a level of complexity too far for my current
requirements.
Many thanks for the information Dieter, I came across the OpenFlow project
<http://www.zope.org/Members/vds/OpenFlow> and have started looking at that.
The main reason is (from a cursory glance) the workflow part can be run
separately from the CMF.
If anyone has some experience with OpenFlow, I'd appreciate some advice.
Cheers
Tone.
