Andre,

I'm very interested in seeing this example… I'm trying to implement something similar here.

Hi Tom,

   Do you have a simple scenario to submit for this example (by default, I will probably developp an example of votes on a given document - a vote with 3 options : accept / reject / no opinion - the document is accepted if the majority of voters have voted "accept" - each voter (amoungst the intial lits of voters) will receive information about the status of the vote).

   I will do that during my spare time (I expect to have finished for this week-end). Is it urgent for you?

The urgency only comes from knowing whether or not it can be done. I have to do a technology demo on Friday, but if I can get Alfresco to at least come up and show CIFS and the concept of how the spaces will be used, then that should be good enough for the immediate future.

My workflow seems similar to yours… the big difference for us is that the document shouldn't be published unless a unanimous decision has been reached on approval. A single rejection sends it back to the writer for adjustment and the process starts all over again.

The other oddity is that each document can have a different set of voters assigned to it by the writer.

Thanks for your help!
