Do you use some tools to manage your edit workflows ?<br>
<br></blockquote></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Not currently, but I have previously been looking into some simple tools. My idea was to keep it simple, web based and try to stick to something I knew pretty well already.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I ended up settings up a proof of concept system with Trac.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Trac is a combined project management and wiki software, where you can design your own workflows. My idea was that text could be written with trac wiki formatting. Trac wiki formatting can be used both in wiki pages (in that case each article would have its own wiki page, linked from a workflow ticket) or directly in a workflow ticket field (for smaller articles). Trac allows for custom fields in the tickets.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Trac has support for "roles" to use for permissions (and to have permissions change according to the workflow).<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">The only think my proof of concept lacked was an import filter to import trac wiki formatted text into Scribus.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Oh, right, also I used a separate solution for images, I used Gallery. The disadvatage was that the version of trac I used had its own user database and no support for external integration. But I think newer versions of trac can integrate with for example Gallery.<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Now, this was a couple of years ago and I had really no idea what to look for, so take this as a "view of a different way to do things":)<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">/Peter<br></div></div>
