Thanks for the feedback!

Your comment about embedding external QA workflows is super interesting. Right now Orchestra does support what we call 'Review Policies', which allow you to specify that a given workflow step be reviewed k times, or with probability X, or by specific expert Z. But it would be interesting to think of whole workflows for QA.

That's handy, I can think of a bunch of things that fit well with that (particularly review a subset of x%)

Hah, yeah it is!

I've got a version setup now, but am struggling a bit to setup workflows & figure out quite what goes where, but I think I've found the right bit of documentation: http://orchestra.readthedocs.org/en/latest/example_use.html

As a suggestion, if you add a new example, try doing it step by step of what you need to add & do. It's more work, but I find it really helps show what someone will actually experience while creating / updating workflows.

We have an issue open to improve the journalism exaple: https://github.com/unlimitedlabs/orchestra/issues/32. If you have concrete suggestions for how to make it better, we'd love to hear them--especially for documentation, which can always use work!

Also feel free to reach out to us on gitter (https://gitter.im/unlimitedlabs/orchestra) if you're having trouble getting your local setup to run the workflow and we can talk through the details.
