I've just been through an exercise with a client to distinguish when to use a wiki versus ECM in their IT group, and specs are definitely a place that should live in a wiki, at least initially. At some point, if you need a more formal sign-off procedure (i.e., you're still at least semi-waterfall), then you can move the wiki content into a document and put it into your ECM system.

The integration of mashup tools and BPM: using mashups to create user-generated front end applications. I've been saying for a couple of years that mashups and BPM are part of the same composite app spectrum.

BPMN 2.0 passes key votes, ready to become specification. "The approval of the June 22nd submission does not mean that BPMN 2.0 is officially adopted but it is significant because the tool vendors can start developing using BPMN 2.0."

OMG symposium on SOA and BPM. Unfortunately, I'll still be in Germany for the BPM 2009 conference.

Free lightweight version of ARIS process modeling tool from IDS Scheer, available for download. Expect download versus cloud debates to recommence.

Although Andrews is talking specifically about advantages of their product over SharePoint for ECM, that is true of almost any "real" ECM system.

Phil Gilbert on IBM's not-really-BPM: "they want to kill off the impertinent notion of business-people controlling the business assets. IBM has spent almost half a century building up their control over this information, and they're not going to give it up without a fight!"

Keith Swenson's presentation on processes that span multiple systems — slides with synchronized audio.

Great post by Bruce Silver on why we can't just dumb down BPMN so that people get it: "in order to capture the exceptions at the root of process improvement, and in order to collaborate with IT in the development of improved to-be process implementations, business can’t rely on what it already knows about process modeling, because it doesn’t know enough. It needs to learn to think about process in a more disciplined, structured way – more like IT, but from a non-technical business perspective."
