Maybe it would be possible to split-off the application server and workflow engine into seperate projects that would then be available for other projects as well.

In fact there seem to be plenty of individual projects especially in spanish-speaking countries that try to do more or less the same thing. But as long as they don't get their resources together and co-ordinate their effort to integrate common basic infrastructure components into something like a "GNOME enterprise edition"... > As a complementary vision we are devoting more effort on the code > reuse of concrete business analysis on a multiuser environment, this > is our actual aim. Well, that comes on top of the infrastructure. And it should use tools that are usable by domain experts, who are not necessarily developers.
