DocumentCloud is a Data Analiys tool for Investigative Journalism to Analyze, Annotate, Publish Documents in a collaborative way.

DocumentCloud can work "hosted" or it's open-source and can be installed on your own server.

In scenarios when GlobaLeaks get used for "Investigatibe Journalism" related activities it may be desirable to provide an easier way to publish the TULIP directly to a DocumentCloud.

That way journalist can cooperate on submitted material and follow the investigative journalism activities required.

The functionality of publishing to a DocumentCloud must be configurable to adapt different use scenario:

a) Manual publishing from Tulip page to DocumentCloud
Target can decide to publish the submitted material and text from the Tulip Page (This option it's present only if a DocumentCloud is configured for that target).

b) Automatic publishing to DocumentCloud
The Tulip, for a specific Target, can be configured to be published to DocumentCloud automatically.

The configuration for the publishing to DocumentCloud must be configurable by Node maintainer or by the Target himself within the Tulip Preference page.

The Tulip page must record and show that it has been published to a DocumentCloud, by providing the link to the published document.

The configuration data for DocumentCloud publishing are:
* URL (default https://www.documentcloud.org)
* Login: (documentcloud's login)
* Password: (documentcoulds's password)
