Pattern statuses

[coreymckrill]

• draft The pattern has not been submitted to the directory yet, or it was submitted but failed automated validation checks. See Inform the user that a pattern has been saved/validated #36
• awaiting-review (or maybe just use pending?) The automated checks determined that a human review is also needed. This could also be used when a published pattern gets flagged as inappropriate.
• declined The pattern was declined by a human reviewer. See Create "My Submitted Patterns" page #16
• publish The pattern passed automated checks and/or human review. It is now published in the pattern directory and appears in searches via the API.
• removed The pattern was previously published, but was removed either by the author or a moderator. See Create "My Submitted Patterns" page #16

There is also some discussion in #16 of having patterns that are only available to the pattern author until the author chooses to publish them. So an additional status might be:

• private The pattern has been submitted, and passed automated checks, but has not been published by the author.

I think submitted should be draft - I see the word "submitted" and I think it's done and awaiting review.

Do you think we need a special status for invalid? If it doesn't pass validation checks, I think it would just not move on from draft. Maybe this should be a meta value on the pattern, rather than a custom status?

The private idea is not a launch requirement, but good to keep in mind.

Ok, updated to consolidate draft/invalid into one status. Maybe we don't even need to save a meta value on the pattern if it's invalid, if the author will receive a detailed message about the validation errors in the UI.
