Framework

The site is organized into 2 areas:

Not In Workflow - This is where any page begins. Newly created, possibly duplicated, single person contributions. Valuable content, but may or may not need to go through the workflow.
In Workflow - This is where any important document needs to live.

*Examples*
In or Out?	Examples
Not In Workflow	List of Libertarian Books, List of Libertarian Videos, List of members, Libertarian Jokes, Duplicated pages, History or the party, Facts.
In Workflow	Strategy, Policy, Platform, Campaign Boiler Plate material, Official Communications, Party's Official Position on 'X'.

This image below shows the framework for the workflow, with who and when people "move" a page.

Users

The site is run by 5 different types of users.

Preparers
Approvers
Verifiers
Admin
MembersOfTheExec

Document States

There are 6 discreet states a document can be in. The List of states is below.

The process to change the state of a Document is two steps.

1st Step

Simply edit the page and apply the correct Site Template. Eg. {{InPreperation}} to something like {{NominatedForApproval}}.

2nd Step

Move (ie change) the page's stack. Eg. Prep: to Appr:

Document Stacks

There are 5 discreet stacks a document can be in. Documents are moved from stack to stack by users adding/changing the suffix to the beginning of a name of a document.

The corresponding prefixes are key to the functionality. They are below.

(main)/blank - Not In Workflow
Prep - In Workflow: Preperation
Appr - In Workflow: Approval
Verf - In Workflow: Verification
Finl - In Workflow: Final
Exec - Not In Workflow, only editable by MembersOfTheExec
IT - Not in Workflow, only editable by administrators

Eg. The "Ontario Energy Platform" page will be created, not in workflow, then move to "Prep:Ontario Energy Platform", then "Appr:Ontario Energy Platform", then "Verf:Ontario Energy Platform", then "Finl:Ontario Energy Platform".
