Legislator

Legislator is a web application that aims to help to create documents that needs to be review by multiple people, such as legal documents.

After adding a document to the application it can undergo several process phases:

1. Commenting phase * users (that have access to the document) post their comments * can have a deadline
2. Comments review phase * commenting is disabled and the the document creator evaluates the comments
3. Uploading a new version of the document * the new version can be marked as final when the process stops otherwise it continues with phase 1

The document creator can change the order of the comments, so it's easier for him process them during the review phase.

By default, the application is accessible only to authorized users (except the login page).

Users can be added using registration or they can be added automatically, when using CoSign. Users can be added to groups. Documents can have access restricted only to certain groups. Documents without any assigned group are open to every user.
