Description

From: http://plone.org/products/iterate

iterate is a plone product that allows one to utilize a checkin / checkout procedure for content editing. It integrates in versioning, locking, and utilizes zope3 technology like adapters and events to allow for easy customization.

iterate was designed to solve/enable the following use cases.

  • Collaborative Document Editing Scenario: Workgroup or person working on a document, the ability to checkout and lock a document allows for a editing cycle, without concern of overwrites, and with an audit trail of versions.
  • Publish/Modify/Review Cycles on a CMS: A common theme in content management is publishing a web document, and then needing to revise it but not to change the published web content, till the modified document has undergone a review cycle.

iterate integrates with the plone user interface mainly through the actions menu. it adds three conditional actions to the menu.. checkout, checkin, and cancel checkout.

iterate targets both plone 2.5 and plone 3.0, and is currently targeted for integration with the plone 3.0 release. when installing from svn please use the plone 2.5 compatiblity branch, if you're running on plone 2.5, the trunk requires Plone 3.0
