[Codestriker-user] patch for 'Reviewed' state

[Dan P. <dan...@al...>]

Hello,

I've recently got our team up and running on codestriker and it seems to 
be a big hit so far.  Thanks for great software.

Like others on this list, I felt the need for a 'Reviewed' topic state.  
That is, a topic that is Open gets reviewed by someone, who then changes 
the state to 'Reviewed'.  Then the author gets an email and knows that 
the review is complete.  Then the author goes through the reviewers 
comments, makes changes, etc., and changes the state to 'Closed'.

It was easy to add the 'Reviewed' state in codestriker.conf, between 
"Open" and "Closed".  Then I converted existing topics by running sql 
like this:

update topic set state = state + 1 where state > 0.

The only other issue to address was that topics are uneditable when they 
are in a state > 0 (Closed).  The attached patch contains a solution to 
this problem that I hope seems reasonable and useful.  We have been 
using our patched version of codestriker for a few weeks now and it 
seems to work well.
