Scheduling, dates and metadata
I'm working on a method to handle news releases for a publication. I
plan on making it based on the XHTML doctype to avoid maintaining my
own doctype. One hurdle I need to get over is the idea of the release
date. The date of a release can be different than the day it is added
to the CMS and would be independent of any time stamp (created,
modified) Lenya might put on it. It would be useful to access the
release date in an XSLT. What seems ideal would be to add the DC term
'available' to the document's metadata
(http://dublincore.org/documents/dcmi-terms/#available). This metadata
element also seems perfectly suited to storing scheduler data.
The metadata docs give clues on how to add a new metadata element. So,
is there someway, without touching Java, to configure Lenya to get
schedule information into and out of dc:available? Has anyone done
something similar? I'm guessing I'd have to go into deeper into the
guts (ant tasks, ucecases) than I've gone yet. Any suggestions for
alternative approaches? Any advice appreciated.

Lenya content XML already has 3 dates:
Created
Modified
Issued
The document exists in both Authoring and Live. How about using the
Issued date of the Authoring document to be when it will next be
released? The Issued date of the Live document would still tell when
the document was last released.
Of course it is just XML, so a new field for NextPublish can be added
without too many concerns.
Or do you just want to change the Creation date? Is there any reason
to maintain both the "true creation date" and the "Lenya creation
date"? It is just there for history, so feel free to change its
purpose.

not in 1.2. there is currently a discussion underway on the dev list
about moving all lenya-private metadata (wf history, scheduling etc) to
a central location, which would make this much easier
