Non Deterministic Approaches

The off-line creation and editing procedure for the content is very simple and consists of 5 steps:

1. Download the MS Word doc template or the RTF template
   
2. Write your content using that template. Please, follow the writing guidelines included in the template.
3. Create an empty article online with a title, an abstract and a body. The title, the abstract and the author list must reflect what is written in the doc file used to write the article. The body should contain only one sentence: "Refer to attachment". At the bottom of the form used to create the content, you'll find a field where you can attach the MS Word or RTF doc file of your content. When you submit it, the content will be put in the draft state and the word doc file will be uploaded.
   
   
4. Switch to review state: after the content is put in draft state, you can access your workflow (my account => workflow) and promote your content to review state. The administrator (or the reviewer) will take care of formatting the article in order to be published online. After this process is completed, the content will be put in the rework status and you will be requested to check it and verify that it corresponds to what you've written.
   
5. Accept the contents for publication: after this you can re-submit the contents by promoting it to the review status again (my account=>workflow page). The administrator will then take care of promoting it to the published status.

After completing step 5, the article will be published and put online. You can expect that it will stay some days in the front page and in the RSS feeds, and that some users can post comments to your contribution. Check your article from time to time to read and answer the comments that can be posted by the other registered users.
