Concurrent Draft

The ConcurrentDraft extension enables default draft versions of pages, snippets and layouts, which can be scheduled for promotion to Production. Every page, snippet and layout hence can have a concurrent draft (dev) and production version.

Created by: Andrew vonderLuft and Sean Cribbs, August 2008, in Portland Oregon

config.active_record.default_timezone = :local

Acknowledgments

• Andrew conceived of the ideas for this extension and its initial design, and did model changes, migrations, and initial code for pages.
• Sean collaborated on its expansion and refactoring to include snippets and layouts, and produced most of the final code, including all of the UI.
• After some discussion, they both rightly identified the mystery piece as a Haydn Cello concerto.
