Bring services and rules together
I think it would be really useful to do a rules engine integration, so one can do service calls by configuring rules (per UI). It looks like one has already to specify the arguments for a service - so we would have to convert this to the format of the rules API and expose an action per service. Basically that should do it already.
Have I forgotten something? What do you think about this idea?

Improvements in comparison to workflow-ng:
Data Types:
Arguments had an "entity type" in workflow-ng. This has been changed to data types, so that it fits also for primitive data types like strings and numbers. So rules contains support for the usual data types like node and user, but in contrast to workflow-ng it also treats strings as data types.
Also a lot of internal code has been restructured and improved - now rules is keeping an internal array of variables.
Status: implemented
Ubercart dropping integration with Rules

Maybe we can team up and try to re-raise the support in rules...

I've just released ALPHA1.
As you can see in the development status, there are still some important features missing. But the main UI (and the API) is already working - so check it out and give me feedback!

A session about rules at the drupalcon?
I've created a session proposal for the drupalcon :)
-> see http://szeged2008.drupalcon.org/program/sessions/rules-new-opportunities...
I'd also talk about the differences to the core actions and trigger module. Look at the session description for more infos.
Hopefully the session will be selected and I'll see you there.. :)
Developers: Small API change for rules integrations!
Attention developers, I've just committed a small API change to rules. Now you should use t() for help provided directly in your hook_rules_*_info implementation.
Example: The previous code
<?php
function node_rules_condition_info() {
$items = array();
$items['rules_condition_content_is_type'] = array(
'label' => t('Content has type'),
'arguments' => array(
'node' => array('type' => 'node', 'label' => t('Content')),
),
'module' => 'Node',
'help' => 'Evaluates to TRUE, if the given content has one of the selected content types.',
);
