Ok, so Xiru started it and made me feel dumb for not having done it earlier. So I took the time this morning to make a small script to export DCWorkflow definitions into a dot file, to be used by graphviz.

So, here goes it:

• dcworkflow2dot.py
• plone_workflow.dot
• plone_workflow.png
• folder_workflow.dot
• folder_workflow.png

To use the script, just drop it at the root of your CMF/Plone site, and call it passing the workflow id that you want to export as the wf_id parameter. It's really simple stuff, and I think its possible to put more info into the graph, but haven't studied the dot format enough to do it. :)

An interesting fact is that in the process of exporting the dot file, I ended up finding a missing transition on the folder_workflow of Plone. Better fix it :)
