Re: Help me develop a Job Tracker (?)

I knew there had to be something like a workflow engine, thanks for the hint.

I had a look at django-viewflow which looks pretty promising. Still, as far as I'm aware, some points are beyond the scope of this framework:
  • It would be nice if users could set up their own workflows.
  • I would like to have the flexibility of a workflow engine and some ingredients from standard bug trackers: It should be possible to comment on the different workflows.
  • I'd like to maintain a history of each workflow: Creation date, status change date, ... (who did what and when?)
  • User can subscribe to a workflow. They can choose when they want to get an update: Status change, someone commented, ...
  • when defining a workflow, for each activity one should be able to preset a user who is typically responsible and a due date for this event.
  • a comprehensive list of all workflows: filter based on workflow type, responsible user, in time / overdue, type of work, customer...
  • user should be able to change some properties of a workflow that is currently executed: For example to postpone a deadline. Users need to give a reason for this.
I'll dig a bit into django-viewflow to see how that works. django-fsm may work as well...
