Business process/workflow management (aka BPM)

The BPM software I've been working on is practically finished. It's very simple to use, yet enables the users to closely track all the processes going on in their department/company. Nothing ever gets lost, and for every task there is always a responsible person and a deadline. All the processes are visualized so you can easily verify their correctness.

The software is closely integrated with email, contains only 2000 lines of code so it's highly manageable, and sports a very easy to use plugin architecture enabling users to create custom code to be called whenever ANYTHING changes in the system. And I mean anything, from new user creation to adding a comment to a task.

We've just started using this project at grono to manage our IT department. Once it matures a bit I will probably put this project online for you to try out.

It's 100% Python (and consequentially multiplatform) and based on Pylons
