Data persistence and moderation

Initial design

Rough ideas by @mjg17 on 2017-06-06.

• Any user can add a new item. New items:

  • should be visible to all users
  • start as 'unconfirmed'
  • will not persist if the database is reinitialised
  • will not be available to local clones of the project

• Admin users can confirm new items. Confirmed items:

  • can be selected by a filter option
  • should be persisted by being dumped to the repository and then committed
  • will therefore be available when the database is re-intialised
  • will therefore be available to local clones of the project

• Post-moderation dump-and-commit should be automated as much as possible.

Implementation

To be designed.
