<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>The proposed Help/Curated Docs system we are building on<br>
<span class="drupalorg-gitlab-issue-link project-issue-status-info project-issue-status-17"><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/documentation/issues/1549580" title="Status: Closed (outdated)">#1549580: Track progress of building the Help/Docs System</a></span><br>
needs some editorial workflow control, as detailed at <a href="http://drupal.org/node/1095012#workflow">http://drupal.org/node/1095012#workflow</a></p>

<h3 id="summary-remaining-tasks">Remaining tasks</h3>
<p>1. Review existing workflow modules that we might be able to use. Modules that need to be reviewed or considered:</p>
<ul>
<li>Text review <a href="http://drupal.org/project/trevi">http://drupal.org/project/trevi</a></li>
<li>Workbench (family of modules) <a href="http://drupal.org/project/workbench">http://drupal.org/project/workbench</a> - see comment #8 on this issue for some thoughts on this module</li>
<li>Maestro <a href="http://drupal.org/project/maestro">http://drupal.org/project/maestro</a></li>
<li>Organic Groups <a href="http://drupal.org/project/og">http://drupal.org/project/og</a> -- I think that when Drupal.org gets ported to Drupal 7, part of the plan is to have each Project automatically be an Organic Group. Can we leverage OG to take care of Documentation workflow too?</li>
<li>Other suggestions on <a href="http://groups.drupal.org/node/198188">http://groups.drupal.org/node/198188</a> -- feel free to add them to this list</li>
</ul>
<p>2. Choose which modules to use (probably just as a framework or starting point).</p>
<p>3. Extend or configure these modules to fit the system's needs.</p>
<h3 id="summary-original-report">Original report by Sree</h3>
<p><strong>Research workflow modules and techniques, and create (probably) an add-on for the Workbench module that would accomplish the editorial/translation workflows we need for the official help site </strong> This is 1 of the focussed task in the improvements for Drupal 8.</p>

<p>Here I opened this thread to collect the opinions from everyone regarding this initiative.</p>
<p>We are currently exploring different options like workbench, workflow related modules, revisioning (as suggested by Alex) etc<br>
We welcome more suggestions from everyone on the board here.</p>
<p>Thanks,<br>
