[Zope] MetaFlow

[Andreas Heckel]

Is anybody out there who tryed to follow the tutorial "Using MetaFlow"
on zopemag.com ? After reading the paper I thought MetaFlow is what I'm
looking for.
It is installed on Zope 2.5.0b3 (binary release, python 2.1,
linux2-x86), python 2.1.1, linux2)
The code is quite clear. The documentation is exemplary.
But it simply doesn't work :-(

My Session:

create a MetaFlow Object in ZMI (Workflow)
-> add two state (public,private) 
-> try to delete one of them (public)
-> ERROR: BadRequest:addImage does not exist

-> add two Transition (publish,hide)
-> try to set any property of a Transition 
-> ERROR: KeyError: destination

-> try to create a MetaFlow File (MyFile) WorkflowDefinition:Workflow
-> ERROR: WorkflowError: no initial state in workflow Workflow

Yes ... i read the doc about the initial state but where can I set it on
ZMI ?

-> give up in frustration -> went home not to write a more flaming post
;-) 

Michel ... that's not the way promoting Zope as a professional tool.
