I have started Open Source GIS (Gentran Integration Suite) Error Reporting / Status Reporting BPML Project.
Project URL: http://github.com/burmjohn/gentran-integration-suite-bpml/tree/master Through the URL above you can download, fork, and contribute to the project. If you have any questions please let me know, I'll do my best to help. There is nothing to download yet, however I hope to have something up shortly.
