Comments on: Native BPMN 2.0 execution with the freshly released jBPM 4.3 http://www.jorambarrez.be/blog/2010/01/04/jbpm4-3-released/ Small steps with big feet Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:37:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Joram http://www.jorambarrez.be/blog/2010/01/04/jbpm4-3-released/comment-page-1/#comment-3945 Joram Mon, 11 Jan 2010 11:58:57 +0000 http://www.jorambarrez.be/blog/?p=609#comment-3945 @Lincoln: Point taken. Of course I don't want to scare away newcomers to the BPM (Business Process Management ;-) field. The more, the merrier :-). I guess it's a common problem in the technical field ... we're so used to the technical names that we don't even remember the long names... So thanks for the feedback, i'll keep it in mlind for the next articles! @Lincoln:

Please take this comment as constructive feedback :) Just a thought: You don't mention what BPMN is. I know you are an expert, but for those readers coming from sites like DZone(myself included) that happen to click and want to read this, it might help them better understand the content if you lead-off with the full name, then the abbreviation, when starting the article. Ex: "Happy 2010 to all the folks who read this blog! I’m extremely pleased to start this year with a bang by announcing that JBoss Business Process Managment (jBPM) 4.3 has been released! As we announced last month, the major achievement of this release is the native Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) 2.0 execution on top of the Process Virtual Machine (PVM)..." I had to do 3 google searches to understand all the acronyms. If you know your audience is already familiar (or don't really care,) then that's fine, but if you want to attract new users/community, then you might want to consider explicitly defining your acronyms the first time they are used in each article/entry. JBoss has many similar acronyms, and they are all hard to keep track of - this is something that I want to see improved across the board, not just on your blog :) Cheers! Keep up the great work! --Lincoln Hi there, mice summary, and nice product!! Please take this comment as constructive feedback :)
