We tried to make OpenKM as intuitive as possible, but an advice is always welcome.

The idea is creater a middle layer in logic ( like AuthenticationAdapter ) and allows connect to any BPM. When will be done ? the end timeline was estimated to july, but I think will not be until september. What will happen with JBPM3, nothing, will continue being supported, and if someone want to implement and adapter for jbpm5 then will be the time for doing it.
