Hmm. It can sometimes pay off in workflow configuration to consistently pick verbs that describe the actions in a generic way, so the workflows are consistent with other workflows for similar but separate activities. Sorta like generic APIs. Taking a step back (with a well aimed nudge), it doesn't look like this is really helpful here. I'll change it the action name to "wontfix". (It'd be painful to accommodate punctuation in the action or state names, so if that spelling is too obscure, "refuse" may still be preferable.) (Is it just me, or is there sometimes a fine line between "consistency" and "foolish consistency"?) enquiring-small-minds-want-to-know'ly, Ken [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
