Drop me an email if it's something you're curious to work on - this is an idea I've been planning to have a crack at eventually…

It's not open source but I've enjoyed working with it, Microsoft Workflow: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee342461.aspx

Are there any partially open source ones? Or crappy fully open source ones? Seems like a weird thing to not at least have something out there.

That sounds interesting, have you thought about what functionalities it needs to have?

Like Yahoo pipes for business data? That sounds fun to build..

"Workflow" is synonymous for: crappy defined human powered process which should do thing but not always do.

IMO the challenge to organize people for arbitrary tasks in arbitrary structures is something that will be discovered by blockchains. DAO and smart contracts leading the way.
