Wordpress Workflow Modfications

I would like to ask a help about Zensor which is a plugin that you publish a post then a moderator approves the post to be published on the WordPress blog site. When a post is awat

Solution 1:

In more current versions of WordPress, "Contributors" can submit new posts to be published. These are held in a moderation queue until an "Editor," or "Administrator" approves the post. "Authors" can publish their own posts without waiting for review. "Subscribers" cannot post at all but can merely read and comment on posts.

You can read more about user roles and capabilities in the WordPress Codex. Basically, make all of your contributing users into "Contributors" and your editors into "Editors." Leave yourself as the "Administrator" as you'd expect. Editors will be notified when new posts have been submitted for review.

Solution 2:

You can also look at a plugin called Edit Flow, which allows you to customize the options for a Post Status, so you can add more layers to your workflow than just Draft and Pending. However this plugin might not be maintained anymore.

Also, I think WP 3.0 will have some core features related to register_post_status as well (though I have hardly heard it mentioned in the community).
