[Web4lib] Content management systems

[Mark Jordan]

Hi Matt,

The workflows module (http://drupal.org/project/workflow) may do what 
you require. I have also implemented an approval process in a custom 
module where user submit site entries, which my module injects into the 
database with an "unpublished" status that a user with the appropriate 
permissions can approve. The  entries do not show up to anonymous users 
unless they have been approved. The module is very specific to my site 
(i.e., not very generalizable as a module), but I'd be happy to share 
the details with you if you're interested.

Mark
