The not so original name derives from the fact that the software will be loosely based on the Prince2 Project Management Methodology. For the uninitiated, Prince2 is based on a set of rules and processes to manage projects, more lightweight (apparently) than PMP.

From my point of view, processes and workflow management go hand-in-hand, and so a background task in my brain has been polling (and googling) about workflow libraries in Python.

A week ago, while searching other stuff, I met OpenERP which, at a first sight, has an interesting workflow management component. Also, the entire project is evolving from a complete application to a set of components, so my hope is to leverage the power of FLOSS here, adopting a component from another, gpl licensed software. Further licensing investigations are on the way.
