[wp-hackers] Creating an "Author Cafe"

[Dion Hulse (dd32)]

How about, instead of excluding, you include specifically?

Create a new post, Set its post_status to 'private-author-cafe' or similar
filter the WHERE clause if the current user is an editor or admin, of  
"($old_where) OR post_status == 'private-author-cafe'

Seems like a possibility..
