[Imc-drupal-dev] Workflow for stories (i.e. draft -> review -> published)?

[Ben West]

Sorry for extreme delay on response to this thread.

I was using taxonomy access module to distinguish center column story
from newswire post (as per wishes of editorial collective) and also
based on the structure of the old dada site.  Likewise, some folks had
expressed interest in having private editorial discussion, hosting
draft stories not yet published, and keeping track of contacts who
don't want their names published.  (Please note I do not advocate that
IMC collectives maintain private information on their websites. Rather
I was trying to implement wishes of the editorial group in STL.)

Anyhoo, the vocabperms module is not a node access module like
taxonomy access.  That is, it will not restrict a user from viewing a
page tagged from a private vocabulary.  Rather, it will only prevent
the user from seeing the tag from the private vocabulary while viewing
the page.

The downside of Taxonomy Access module is that it is quite baroque,
and in no way easy to use by peeps who are not dedicated drupal
fiends.  The tac_lite module looks much more manageable.  Anyone using
it?
