I planned to start as soon as the new model is fixed and support for  
testing (i.e. executing) the transformed rules is available. We seem  
to still be discussing a few interesting semantic aspects of rule  
execution at the time. If the new model is considered final, I will  
start by creating the transformation rules for henshin files and  
testing them extensively to ensure perfect conversion of lots of  
henshin files. This will be especially important, as correcting files  
before or after transformation will be difficult. Having a couple of  
rather complex henshin files which use henshin's current feature set  
will likely increase the quality of automatic conversion due to better  
testing. Since I do not have many henshin files using the full  
spectrum of henshin's features, any help in obtaining more henshin  
files for testing will be greatly appreciated.
When this will be done, the diagram transformation and wizards can be created.
