Actually I'm wondering what the features are that people are missing most in workflow-ng? Currently I'm starting with the 6.x port of it, the rules engine. I'll utilize this opportunity to improve the system. So if you miss anything important, let me know now! I'd also like to know your wishes! As a start, here are mine:

• generic scheduling support
• verbose mode, so that admins can track the execution of rules
• support for sets of entities
• to work with them - support for looping over these sets
• based on that support loading arguments from views
• basic variable support (strings, ..)

Yes, this all goes into the direction of a high level programming solution. Isn't it drupal's goal to eliminate the programmer? :) and more on the long term I'd like to see rules

• integrate with / provide web services and
• support a standardized import/export format perhaps something like bpel

Actually I plan to implement the first two points of the first list for the rules engine. If I have time, perhaps even more of them... Ah, and of course I'd like to see more developers contributing events, conditions and actions for rules or to the rules engine itself!
