[wp-testers] Giving blog drafts their own page..

There's a lot that this exposes; a more generic workflow engine would also
be useful. This could be used for author/approval as you note - but also for
registration/signup/approval and elevation of permissions and roles.

Fleshing out the draft system in WP has been on my mind for a while.   
I really hate the way drafts are presented now.  Another thing that  
needs work is the user-submitted posts functionality.  We've had that  
hanging around since WP 1.3 and not much has happened since.  There's  
the potential there to use WP as a publishing system where authors  
write their own stuff but editors must approve it before publishing.   
There needs to be a way of marking posts as "ready for publishing" so  
that editors know to proof it.  There needs to be a cleaner way of  
notifying editors that there are posts ready for proof-reading.   
Plugins can fill in gaps for things like editing of author-approved  
posts and e-mail notification of ready-for-proof drafts, but the core  
functionality could use some work.  2.2 or beyond, though.
