> I'm currently working on a project which, until yesterday, was going to

> programmer I'm in the market for one.

>  The project in question is a workflow solution for a series of scripts for
> a childrens' animated TV series (26 episodes). Each script/episode goes
> through a series of stages/phases requiring approval to progress from one
> stage to the next. The series has a number of writers assigned to it, each
> writer being responsible for a few of the scripts. Overseeing the
> script-writing process are a few script-editors (whose approval will be
> required to move a script from one stage to the next stage). Overseeing the
> entire process is a producer whose approval will be required for the final
> draft version of the script ie. the final approval on each script will
> reside with the producer. In addition to this there are a number of other
> personnel who will need to be notified on occasion, though not as regularly
> as the above.

> Access to the material would be limited on a per-episode basis ie. each
> writer and script editor have access only to the scripts which they are in
> charge of. Some personnel will have global access ie. to all levels whilst
> some instances will require access on a per node basis ie. the user has
> access only to a specific node.

> The overall workflow consists of a series of cycles. Typically such a cycle
> will consist of

>     the writer submits material
>     the system sends out an e-mail to all personnel with access to that
> script
>     the script editor downloads the material and reviews it
>     if the material requires no further work the editor approves it - based
> on this action the system sends out an e-mail to all involved
>     if the material requires further work the editor uploads notes - based
> on this action the system sends out an e-mail to all involved
> Most of the users of the site will have very little computer experience
> (other than script-writing and e-mail software) and as such the process
> needs to be as simple as possible.

> I have a budget of US$2,000 available for this project.
