Abstract
This paper describes how community participation may be enabled and fostered in a hosted BPM system. We envision an open, collaborative system, wherein users across organizational boundaries can work together to develop and share design-time and run-time artifacts; namely extension activities, workflow models and workflow instances. The system described in this paper enables this collaboration and also allows the community to provide feedback on the shared artifacts via tags, comments and ratings.
