Thanks for the screen cast! That makes sense.
Little feedback from a newbie: one of the things that I've been finding tricky is understanding what the intended way to do things is; for example, I could unzip all the .jars and look for the "Evaluation" example form, but I didn't think that that was the intended workflow, and the screen cast clarified that for me. I realize of course this is just one scenario and it also may be vague since jBPM is often embedded, but it helped me understand the out of the box context.
Hopefully it's not a faux pas to mention another BPM project, but I found this diagram helpful in conveying what the intention was behind all of the components of the Activiti projec... but it took a lot of digging to find it:
