Is it possible to have a new revision move the state of the content to a different state? This would be a nice integration because it would allow us to use actions when a node has a new revisions. Such as alerting a moderator. And we could schedule when we want a revision change to be published. I noticed there is already a couple of actions for enabling or disabling revisions. But not certain how they are actually useful for workflow.

I also get the sense this code and workflow might be integrated into 6. I am not certain if there is a plan to combine the features.

This flag is actions-enabled. You can setup a workflow state that toggles the revision moderation flag on.

There is currently no action that says "This node has new pending revisions" ... that is http://drupal.org/node/97802.

I still think it might be better to have it change the state using workflow, so that way you can use any generic action. There is already action functionality for sending out alerts.

I don't really view this as a duplicate. The proposed functionality doesn't address actions like scheduled state change. Which is the main reason I want workflow integration.

Sure I can understand wanting to keep the module lightweight. But where do you draw the line on what actions are supported before you decide you might as well use workflow. Because that is in a sense what people are asking for. I guess I will just leave it rest for now. Maybe I will think it through more and come up with a patch.

If you don't mind I am going to change this to a Feature request. And see if I get anymore input on the idea.
