+ <title>Introduction</title>
+
+ <para>Since version 4.1, jBPM ships with a completely open-source web-based BPMN
+ modeling tool called 'Signavio'. This Signavio web modeler is the result
+ of a close collaboration between the JBoss jBPM team,
+ <ulink url="http://www.signavio.com/en.html">the company also named 'Signavio'</ulink>
+ and the Hasso Plattner Instut (HPI) in Germany. Signavio is based on the
+ web-based modeling tool <ulink url="http://bpt.hpi.uni-potsdam.de/Oryx">
+ Oryx</ulink>, which is developed in open-source by HPI. Both HPI and
+ Signavio have comitted themselves to continue investing in Oryx and Signavio.
+ More information about the initiative can be found
+ <ulink url="http://code.google.com/p/signavio-oryx-initiative/">here</ulink>.</para>

+
+ <para>
+ Using the Signavio web-based BPMN modeler, it is possible to let business
+ analyst model the business processes through their browser. The file format
+ which is used to store the BPMN processes is actually jPDL. This means that
+ they can directly be imported into the Eclipse GPD and vice-versa. The process
+ files will be stored on the hard disk, by default in
+ <literal>$jbpm_home/signavio-repository</literal> if you've used the default
+ installation scripts.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ NOTE: The web-based BPMN modeling tool which ships with jBPM is 100% open-source
+ (MIT-licence). The company <ulink url="http://www.signavio.com/en.html">Signavio</ulink>
+ also offers commercial versions of the same modeling tool, enhanced with additional
+ features. Do note that new features, beneficial for the jBPM project, always
+ will be comitted in the open-source repository of the modeling tool.
