Where are all the Flow users?

Where's the best place to find and discuss Flow issues? Does anyone have Flow/Firefly/Visual Workflow/Business Process Management/(whatever other names its been called) information or links to documentation? The stuff that is available seems to be extremely limited and fairly useless after about 2 hours.

Hi - SFDC Visual Workflow Product Mgr here - Thanks for your post. We hear you and we are in the midst of developing addtional training materials for Flow. A new set of training videos will be available in July. We're also cooking up a batch of Flow recipe books that we'll be handing out at Dreamforce (and posting online). Meanwhile, check out the resources and links to our burgeoning Flow community below. We look forward to hearing about your experiences with Flow!

The Twitter Feed for Flow is @salesforcevpm - you may want to try and hit them up. Your right, documenation and adoption online is pretty light at the moment.

 

I think the problem is for a while after Flow became GA there was still confusion in alot of organizations on how to get access to it, and it was hard to get an answer on pricing for the license.

 

In addition, the Documentation that is provided with the Flow Designer is really lightweight. It helps you do quickstart which is a simple calculator, but people really need a quickstart which shows interactions with the DB (Queries, Updates, ETC) and how you can branch the flow of a business process off those functions.

 

I wrote a blog post about using Flow designer a few months back in my pre-release org. I get about 30 folks a day looking at that entry because there just isn't that much information about Flow. So your not alone in your quest. :)
