Simple replicator

The first thing coming out of the Optimal BPM project will be the 0.8 version of a tool called Simple Replicator. The Business Process Management angle is that transfer and transformation of data is a fundamental part of BPM. Also, the simple replicator is just that, simple. It just scratches the surface of what is possible to do with QAL.

I'll begin with Debian, then Windows and Redhat(v 0.9), Mac OS X (1.0) packages, But if you just can't wait for .deb packages, you can try out the source already, it will not change much until release:
git clone git://git.code.sf.net/p/optimalbpm/code optimalbpm-code



However, in most situations you don't have to join rows from a webpage HTML tag tree with rows from a RDBMS with those of a .csv file. So that is what "simple" means.
The full potential of QAL and Optimal BPM will instead be managed in a web-based interface. If you want to se examples of what QAL can do, look at the the unit tests. Information about  manual installation is on the wiki, see below.

I have already started using the ticket system at Sourceforge to track some of the development, it works ok for that purpose, however, and of course, it is not near what bugzilla and other bugtrackers can provide, but will suffice for now. You can view and add tickets here. All questions are welcome.

There is also the beginning of a wiki brewing. So far there is only an article about QAL's database abstraction layer and the Optimal BPM tool Simple Replicator

Cheers!
