Hi,
I am thinking seriously about creating, or at least helping to oversee the creation of, a MediaWiki extension that lets users create flowcharts for use in BPM (business process management, or business process modeling). The extension would most likely be a wrapper around bpmn-js, an open source JavaScript library that does this sort of thing pretty nicely:
http://bpmn.io/toolkit/bpmn-js/
There already is a MediaWiki extension that includes bpmn-js - Cognitive Process Designer:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cognitive_Process_Designer
However, my understanding is that it no longer works with recent versions of MediaWiki. Also, I disagree with some of the design decisions made on that extension, so I think creating a new extension makes sense.
I'm not actually looking for funding or development help at the moment - though both of those would be great to have - but rather some advice. I'm looking for people who have dealt with BPM, and would like to be able to edit and display such charts, and BPM information in general, in a wiki. If this description fits you, please email me back - I have a bunch of questions and ideas I want to bounce off other people.

Hi Yaron,
I haven't really dealt with it, but Alexander Gesinn has I guess.
BTW, are your aware of https://github.com/SemanticMediaWiki/Mermaid
Cheers, Bernhard

I know about the Mermaid language (and, to a lesser extent, about the "Mermaid" extension) - one of my questions, actually, is how Mermaid and BPMN relate to one another: are they competitors? Or do they do different things? I haven't been able to find any information about this online.
