Freefluo is the workflow engine used by the Taverna 1.x. It was developed as part of the original myGrid project, but is outside of the scope of the current myGrid project. It is now managed by IT Innovation at Southampton. In the current Taverna codebase, Freefluo is so heavily customized that it is no longer recognizable as the original project. Approximately 95% of the code the enactment uses is Taverna’s code rather than Freefluo, we really only maintain the name for compatibility with the old powerpoint slides.
Freefluo is not used by Taverna 2.x.
When users ask the Taverna team about Freefluo, they often want to know how to run a workflow without using the Taverna workbench GUI. See also “Can I run Taverna on another machine or from the command line?” question.
