Ok. 
The problem is that DCWorkflow is state based. So it can be represented as a 
UML State Diagram. Workflows are normally Activity Based...I know there were a 
long discussion on the list and on some Wikis on Zope.org about that, and also 
some work done by Open Flow guys towards integration. 

We need either a dedicated tool or a extensible State Diagram drawing tool and 
also XMI exportation of models...Another solution would be getting some Python 
scriptable drawing tool like Dia or KVio and make it generate code. Again, we 
would have a partial solution, since there would be no way of representing 
state objects´properties.

Does anyone would like to enter this project? Is there interest from Zope Corp 
in this area?

Rogerio Atem
