Hey Alan,
I know what you're after. It is what I had in mind when I designed
the forebear to Automator. Although I claim no intellectual property
in regards to Automator and certainly didn't provide any code or
assistance ...
I have been told that my program (presented at a bioinformatics
conference) and my discussions with Apple regarding that app, led to
the development of Automator. I'm sure what you speak of will in
fact be a feature of 10.5 or later ....
That being said, I would like to help build something slightly
different from Automator. I'd like to see a full-scale flowcharted
workflow app that pipes data from process to process, regardless of
language or implementation (and should be Xgrid-friendly).
When I built the Aquifer-prototype (which was very bare-bones), I was
using an XML specification describing language independent commands.
The basis was from Pise, at http://www.pasteur.fr/recherche/unites/
sis/Pise/, check it out.
I'm pretty sure the XML specification was originally built to front-
end command-line and perl scripts with Tk and HTML front-ends. Let
me know ... if you were to start a sourceforge project or something,
I would help ...
Maybe the talk should be taken out of the Cocoa dev list though ...
