Maintainership

Seeking a new maintainer



Number of open issues:

17 open, 3 of which are bugs



Does have test coverage

Usage stats:

9 sites



Maintainer(s):

Jheadstrom, who maintains his own stable of modules,
including a number in the Message stack



Module features and usage

Creates a new tab on nodes, on which a content creator
(or anyone with the necessary permission) can assign one or
more editors or reviewers

Can specifically designate which roles can be editors or
reviewers

Editors have the ability to make changes and transition
content between states, while reviewers can only move between
states

For each transition in your workflow, can specify if
editors and/or approvers are able to perform the transition

Can optionally send a notification email to workflow
participants as they are added to a piece of content

I used to have a boss who liked to say “The surest way to
starve a dog is to put two people in charge of feeding it”,
so the idea of specifically assigning individuals to
individual pieces of content is potentially very powerful
