FI content workflow

[Mel Chua]

I tried drafting out an ascii version of the workflow I saw being tossed 
around at FUDCon - thoughts? Is this accurate? Workable? It's pretty simple.

(I'm not sure if I'm using the word "workflow" in the same way that FWN 
uses it - if there's another word I should use instead, or some way this 
diagram ought to be revised, please ping - or edit the wiki version. ;)

As a workflow it makes sense, in the answering if you are using the
correct term etc.

One thing that is missing is a box alongside "press" "web" "fedora
planet" that is an in-flow for original content targeted for FI.
Might want to add that even if you don't intend original content for a
while?

To confirm you have the right idea, this is what a "normal" high-level
CMS workflow might look like:

+--------+
| Writer |------+
+--------+	|
    |		| Sent back for rewrite
    |		|
+--------+	|
| Editor |-----<NO>
+--------+
    |
  <YES>
    |
+----------------------+		 +-------------------------+
| Published or queued  |-----<CANCEL>----| May cancel some content |
| by publishing editor |		 | as inappropriate or no  |
+----------------------+		 | longer relevant.        |
    				 +-------------------------+

Thanks - added, 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Insight#Content_workflow. I'm 
hoping that will actually be a small (or possibly even nonexistent) 
subset of content; I'd like FI to draw from content "upstreams" as much 
as possible so that editors can focus on *finding* good content rather 
than getting it made, but I'd also love pushback and feedback on that 
thought; I'm not sure it makes sense yet.
