[schooltool-dev] wfmc roadmap?

[Tom Hoffman]

Hi Kit,

I don't have any deep insight into who is working on wfmc, but can say
I consider it to have been a bad bet on my part.  I feel like I wasted
a substantial amount of developer time chasing wfmc.  I just tend to
geek out a bit on standards and try to use them whenever the
opportunity presents, but in this case, I don't see that there was any
real upside.
