I have just published the Workflow Manager sample at http://wf.netfx3.com/files/folders/sample_applications/entry4074.aspx
Sample requires .Net 3.0 June CTP:

installation:
1) Unzip contents of the archive into a local directory.
2) If you have a sql server available, prepare a tracking database:
a. Create database mytrackingdb
b. Run Tracking_Schema.sql and Tracking_Logic.sql from %WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Workflow Foundation\SQL\EN
c. Run trackingDbMyLogic.sql from the directory
d. Add connection string under <liveTrackingDatabase> node of the \WorkflowManager\WorkflowManager.exe.config
3) Open up WorkflowManager.sln, run it
You will get two forms opened when you run the application. One is a small one with a title “Windows Workflow Runtime Host” – (or simply “host” - it might be hidden by the larger one) and the other is the “Windows Workflow Manager” itself. Click the start instance buttons on the host form a few times – this will get the Live workflows list populated.
Double-clicking on a list entry would bring up the Details View for that instance, in which you may view instance state, control it (suspend/resume/terminate) and change instance “in-flight” (so called “dynamic update”).
more details to follow...
