The picture below illustrates the various states that constitute the life cycle of a contribution.

Contribution State Machine

Under construction: still need describe all states, transitions, and flags...

States

RESERVED
The contribution details have been entered in the system, the file has not yet been uploaded.

Next logical step is to "Upload/Make Available" the contribution file. It is also possible to withdraw (cancel) the contribution at this stage.

Is is not possible to REVISE a contribution from the RESERVED state, since the proposal has not yet been made available.

AVAILABLE
The contribution file is physically present on the server
REJECTED
The group has rejected the contribution AS A WHOLE, and does not plan to discuss it any further. It is hence not possible to revise a rejected contribution.
ACCEPTED
The group has accepted the contribution AS IT IS, there is not need to improve/update it, it is ready for potential implementation. It is hence not possible to revise an accepted contribution.
NOTED
REVISED
WITHDRAWN


note: ACCEPTED and REJECTED states are only applicable to contributions "For Decision"
