Yes, I also seem to recall that you did.

Personally, I consider support for human participation in workflows to be
vital, so I'd be in favor of accepting a contribution to further that goal.

It's apparently going to be submitted to OASIS a bit later in the year:

http://searchwebservices.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid26_gci1262143,00.html?track=NL-110&ad=594699&asrc=EM_NLN_1664249&uid=616380

Which isn't such a good news from the IP side, OASIS often produces
standards that aren't really open source friendly...

fyi:

The final draft of BPEL4People is available.
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/specification/ws-bpel4people/?S_TACT=105AGX04&S_CMP=HP

However I'm wondering whether the namespace
http://www.example.org/BPEL4People is also somewhat final...

Best regards,

+1 for human participation (BPEL4PEOPLE)
I'd be interested in helping on this area...

+1 on the human participation piece. Absolutely critical.

I think there's still several pieces missing to get a solid set of BPM
bricks in the ASF. ODE is just the first part but I'd personally like to see
the following pieces implemented and made to work together:

   - a web service orchestration engine (ODE)
   - human participation (could be Tempo)
   - small footprint, embeddable process execution environment,
   addressing the "programming in the small" set of problems (ala jbpm)

There's much more than that to BPM but that's a lot of work already and we
can't dilute ourselves too much. However I think that's what we should push
for.
