[openstack-dev] [mistral] mistral actions plugin architecture

Thanks for answer!

A custom action inherits from base.Action. So if I need to write custom 
action in different project and register it via entry points then I need 
dependency on mistral sources. Is that correct? Or is there way how to 
create custom action without that dependency?

Regards
Filip
