While there are XML files laying around, but they're not meant to be used by humans. The end result seems to be that Opalis doesn't offer a non-GUI model. Along those lines, we talked briefly about Opalis being more of an "open platform" re: integrating it's functionality into web applications as widgets/porlets. While the software doesn't do that, the idea didn't seem new to them. I encouraged them to go down that path as, in my view, mashups/composites are more and more important for behind-the-firewall apps.

Process integration from the Firefighter's point of view. Can't help but think it'd be better served as a DSL in a host language or something though. Opalis looks kind of interesting.
