Contribution State Machine: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:46, 5 August 2010

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

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

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WITHDRAWN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"=== Flags ===
