I think that another task we should consider is removing the
dependencies to the old "workflow" component; I've noticed that there
are some fields in the WorkEffort entity that are related to the
workflow component and there is also some java classes (in the order and
workeffort components) that use workflow's classes.

In general, it would be nice for the new Shark integration (but I don't
know if possible) to avoid this kind of dependencies and make the work
flow engine an optional/external/pluggable tool.
