In your state diagram, you may differentiate between ticket author and chapter author. Please can you use a new color for the chapter- author trasitions.

Can do.

If a reviewer detects a bug, he should set the state back to "Passed". A new color for the reviewer is also needed for this transition.

I think that this is what I was thinking when I had an extra state in my first diagram -- that the states would go between "text committed" and "waiting for PDF reviews" until it was finally "ticket complete".

So do you want to make the reviewers responsible for changing the state back away from "waiting for PDF reviews" to the previous state? That would be different than what we did for proposals, where the proposal author or chair would move the ticket between "forum feedback requested", "not ready", and "waiting for (proposal) reviews".

Yes, because we have three parties: The ticket author who has only a controling role, the reviewers, and the chapter author. It must be absolutely sure, that the chapter author savely detects when he has to repair something. Therefore I would like that the status goes back to "Passed". This should be done by the reviewer as soon as he detects a problem. This reduces the risk, that something is overseen. The ticket author is doing only the final transition to "Ticket complete" after he and his 4 reviewers have checked the ticket-text in the MPI-2.2 standard. The ticket author may also be active, if the chapter author has not seen that a problem was detected and he has to repair something. Please, can you mention at the forward transition from "Passed" to "Waiting for PDF reviews": Set by a chapter author when all involved chapter authors have finished the MPI-2.2 latex text and produced a sniplet of pdf pages of this ticket. Please, can you mention at the backward transition from "Waiting for PDF reviews" to "Passed": Set back by a reviewer if he detects a bug in the pdf file. We must be sure, that all 85 tickets are handled correctly by the 13 chapter authors. Rolf
