Hi,

this sounds promising.

There are many FSM frameworks around, and AFAIK there are few (or even none
?) that provide great graphic tools (including graphical edition !!). The
key of success is around those tools.

I'm currently using smach because :
_ they provide a graphical "debugger"
_ the user code can be very very light which allow non-informatician to
write code.

I'm desesperatly looking for a graphical tool to generate my state
machines. If you achieve this, I would be glad to be a beta tester.
