This appears to be a glorified services ad posing as an open source project. The crux of desktop automation isn't that you can do the easy things, but that you have a way of doing everything. A 99% automated process with one manual step in the middle is still pretty useless. Which is the reason the major vendors tend to have been in business for 10+ years. Because it's not about wrapping the Windows Active Accessibility API (or whatever they're calling it now) and patting yourself on the back. It's about supporting, out of the box, that VB6 app with a hacked-in async UI interaction using a custom grid with a combo box in it. And it's about exposing it in a way that, ideally, a business use familiar with Visio-only can kludge together 85% of the logic. In short, this looks like all those times HN opines on {biology / rocketry / etc} and offers that "If they just ____, it would all be easy."
