[Blocks-development] Re: Blocks-development digest, Vol 1 #92 - 2 msgs

[<Rjw...@ao...>]

Gentlemen:
 
I have been tracking (barely) Blocks development for about a year.  I  really 
wish I had more time to get involved with its further development.   My 
biggest wish for Christmas is to have an enhanced version of Blocks rolled  
underneath OpenOffice to provide part of a next-generation Open Source Workflow  
Engine.  The idea is to enhance OpenOffice's XML-encoded metadata file  objects so 
that Blocks-enabled software 'agents' can handle the routing of XML  Schema- 
based workflow documents between the members of a 'Virtual'  OpenOffice-based 
Workflow Team.  OpenOffice already supports  forms though I don't believe they 
are stored as hierarchical  XML Schema constructs.
 
Some simple examples of electronic document workflows this would support  are 
puchase requisitions, travel authorizations, business travel expense  
reports, engineering change notices (ECNs), team-authored training manuals,  among 
many, many more. 
 
Can you e-mail me with instructions on how to get in touch with Blocks lead  
developers by e-mail?  I'd like to discuss this use of a future Blocks in  
greater detail.  Thanks.
