We need to implement time limits (per meeting) for different types of motions.
These time limits should be implemented as a new model within the meetings: time_limit.
It should include the following fields:
name: a string representing the title of the time limit
meeting_id: relation to corresponding meeting
begin: a timestamp marking the point from which a user is allowed to carry out the associated actions
end: a timestamp marking the end of the time period
type: a multiselect specifying the actions which the time limit restricts.
the selectable options are: create motions, update motions, support motions, create amendments, update amendments, support amendments
There ought to be corresponding new actions time_limit.create, time_limit.update and time_limit.delete that allow the editing of these models.
All actions that involve creating/updating motions or editing the supporters of a motion should have their permissions changed to consider the time_limits in the following manner:
If there are no time limits concerning the attempted action, proceed as usual.
If there are time limits concerning the attempted action, normal users can only perform that action while the current time is within one of those time limits.
Given that certain members staff should be able to edit motions after the fact for organizational reasons there should be a new permissioncan_ignore_time_limit that causes this time limit check to be skipped.
Which fields of the motion actions will be affected specifically will have to be discussed at a later date.
TODO: What will have to be done in the autoupdate service?
