It uses XML. It seems to step a little bit more beyond building
software. In their FAQ they showed example of e-mail notification,
etc.

I truly regret I mentioned the words "build system". I mentioned this
name because I did not know what else to call it. To give you an idea
what I am talking about, look at what Chris Tavares has mentioned:

FinalBuilder: http://www.atozedsoftware.com/finalbuilder/index.html

and this other product:

http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~openflow/index4.html
http://homepages.ihug.com.au/~openflow/Tour/oftour.chm

What I have in mind is about half-way between these two products. So
perhaps I should call it "Workflow Management System" or "Enterprise
Task Managment System".

In particular, GUI is important, and by GUI I mean you can visualize
the tasks including the conditional branches and perhaps even loops.
