A note was passed along to me about a new project that's been created to help make the generation of ODF-XSLT documents simpler - the ODF-XSLT Project from Lone Wolves.   Lone Wolves is happy to announce the ODF-XSLT project [1]. The ODF-XSLT Document Generator is a library written in PHP 5 that brings the full power of XSLT to your OpenDocument files. It enables you to use ODF files as if they were plain XSLT templates. It also includes a few extra parsing options that allow you to edit the XSLT parts of these ODF from within your favourite office suite.   The tool was developed by Tribal Internet Marketing and is being released under a GNU Public license, version 3. You can get more information about the project from its homepage including things like downloads, the manual and their subversion repository address.

When hard a work coding, browser windows with manual entries have a nasty habit of multiplying (at least when I work). So, neededless to say, I was happy to find GotAPI.com, a site that compiles the reference materials for several different web development languages into one handy browser window.  The page, by default, searches HTML resources, including the W3C specs and Microsoft's MSDN materials. Those and the w3schools website show up often in the other languages available - CSS, XSL, XML, and XPath. The PHP manual that's referenced is just pulled from the PHP.net site, but it's still nice to have it all right there.  When searching, a "suggeted terms" box pops up to help you narrow down the search faster. It searches not only the beginnings of the words for your term, but it looks inside them as well, matching anywhere.   It would be nice if the site had some kind of bookmarking system built into it - then you could keep a reference and just flip back and forth between the pages with a single click of the mouse.

OpenWFE is an open source java workflow engine. It is a complete Business Process Management suite, with 4 components : an engine, a worklist, a webclient and a reactor (host for automatic agents). It can also be used behind the scene. OpenWFE 1.4.4 introduces an important new feature in its process definition language : variable substitution. ${myvar}, when used in the attribute value of a tag gets resolved to the content of the myvar variable. Coupled to an iterator or a concurrent-iterator, it can simplify definitions dramatically.   Stop scripts were written for windows (bin/owfe-suite.bat stop) relying on the new SignalService feature.  The webclient and drolo are now avaible as WARs to drop in your tomcat webapps/ tree or the one of whatever java webapp server you are using.  Lots of small bugs were fixed, leading to a very innovating but robust release.  You can download the file here: https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=54621&package_id=49295
