General material approval scheme

When a PA (principal author) submits the material (following the instructions below)
it will be automatically posted to the corresponding PWG. The group conveners,
physics analysis coordinator (PAC) and the deputy PAC will be informed.
The talk approval procedure must follow/satisfy STAR Publication and Presentation Policy.

After the submission, the PWG conveners should read the material, provide comments, and
after PA will apply the proposed comments/suggestions approve the talk. As soon as the talk
has been approved, conveners have to click on "Approve presentation" button.
Then the talk will be automatically resend to star-talks, where PAC or deputy PAC will
go through the material, provide comments/suggestions. After the corrections will be applied,
PA should upload a new version of the material to the same page and leave the check mark
in the List column for the latest version only. PAC or deputy PAC will approve the talk.
As soon as it is done PA can present the materials.
