Sure, and I know more or less how I'd do it if I had to code from scratch. On the other hand, I don't want to code from scratch - if there are other viable options. I'm not a genius, but I think I'd manage to write a web framework too - do you really think it would be a good idea to start writing another one? I'd much prefer an existing workflow project that I could use, test, and contribute to, just as I decided on TG for the web thing.
