In case people from this project are still checking this thread. I am actually looking into Drools at this moment so the timing cannot be better...

I have a few questions:

1. Is this a new skin/interface for existing tools like Drools / jBPM or re-implementing that functionality?

1a. If new skin: is it fair to say, once the business application is built (there maybe bugs along the way due to the stage of this project), since the foundation is Drools / jBPM, we can expect production quality that we would expect out of Drools/jBPM?

2. What is the KIE Group? Is this owned by Redhat? It is very hard to tell by reading the footer.

3. Does the team provide consulting services to use these tools for an enterprise adoption?

1. it's both :) we're keeping a lot of the features in place but we are taking the chance to renew some parts and drop or redesign some 2. KIE (Knowledge Is Everything) is the collective name of the development group that works on Kogito/Drools/jBPM/OptaPlanner. It's not a legal entity so it's not technically "owned" by RH, but the majority of us work for RH 3. RH provides subscription services and consulting
