Re: Publishing reminders and start and stop date

Hi Lars,

You should be able to currently do it within the JSP templates for the 
content you want to watch by adding some line of code to use the scheduling 
library packaged with Jahia (Quartz Scheduler : 
http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/)

In the next Jahia 4.5, there will be a full integration with the Senseï 
Business Processing Server, so you will also be able to use it in order to 
launch such "watching" workflows.

Will be included in Jahia 4.5

Should be doable through an event listener in Jahia 4.5 (cf above).

Could you be a bit more precise on exactly what you want to do ("save, 
compare and search on all versions of his/hers published articles" = ???)?

For the moment there is no notion of "owner" in Jahia. To ease permissions 
maintenance, all the system is based on inheritance of rights. So every 
users with some "read, write, admin" rights privileges on the home page 
will automatically get such rights for content objects under this point on 
the sitemap (at the exception of inheritance permanent breakpoints).

So we may add an "owner" role but such a notion would need to be detailled 
more precisely. I think such a role would be useulf for Jahia 5.0  which 
will add some "content explorer" views (view all the content not in an 
"on-the-page-edit-mode" but filtered by matadata, versions, etc... But we 
do not plan to add such a mode before Jahia 5.0.

>6 The articles  shall be automatically saved in some sort of archive.

??? All the content is already versioned.

If you only want to display the last 5 articles on the home page and all 
the former article on an archive page, this is already possible (cf. JSP 
taglibs) but has nothing to do with a CMS notion of "archive" as this is 
live content (vs deleted versioned content).
