Just wondering if anyone has already done a project/implementation where the metaweblog api is being used to support multiple people posting (via their login/pswd) content to an umbraco site in a pending status, where it can then be reviewed and published by an editor.
Like a news site with multiple people posting but an editor does final publish.
I think blog4umbraco uses the metaweblog api but that's for one user I think, and for posting just to the blog.
I'd be looking for being able to categorize postings during publish (or even automatically via windows live writer) and the content would be displayed in appropriate places on site based on that categorization.
Currently, you can only use the metaweblog api to post to 1 documenttype per user and you'd have to set it up on a per-user basis. I'm not sure if you can programmatically alter user properties or if there are aftersave event handlers on users, might be worth looking into. But remember you can only have a user post to 1 single documenttype.
