I’m looking for an easy to use workflow engine for Rails for an  
application  
I’m writing.

I’ve discovered two candidates, both called ActionFlow -

Has anyone used either of these (I’m assuming they ARE different) and  
would  
care to make a recommendation.

Or indeed recommend another Workflow plugin ?

Thanks

You’re right on one thing : it ain’t the same thing. IMHO, why don’t  
you try them both ?
