    ==Duration of Campaigns==


    Campaigns have an [[activation date]], an [[deactivation date]] and optionally an [[expiration date]]
    By default the the activation date is the date that the campaign is registered and the deactivation and expiration date are not set.
    It is possible to start building a campaign before it becomes active. A typical case of this would be for example special campaign days or weeks like [[w:Buy Nothing day|Buy Nothing day]] where the campaign exists propably indefinatelly, but is active for only one day.
    so i propose the following terminology to distinguish what state a campaign is in:
    *[[Inactive Campaign]] - registered, but not activated: can be activated or nullified by campaign management or by set activation date or expiration date
    *[[Active Campaign]] - registered and activated: can be inactivated or nullified by campaign management or by set expiration date
    *[[Archived Campaign]] - [[nullify|nullified]] by campaign management or expired: Cannot be activated again
