Workflow Components

Workflow Components

This category is both about workflow management software and small chunks of code for performing specific tasks that can be included in organized workflows. Workflow approaches and engines that have been found to be useful by the community are appropriate to this area. It should also be a place for modules of code that can be used & re-used as building blocks in larger processes. Often, these are wrappers for software & utililties that are not Fedora-specific. These are meant to be invoked by an external program or process.
