[wp-hackers] Custom Post Type + Capabilities & Roles

[Jake Goldman]

  That (mostly) works... but that's not what I'm trying to do.

I'm trying to create an equivalent to post *contributors*, not authors 
(which I can do).

Are you able to create a new role that can submit "questions" for review 
via the admin, and can edit his / her own questions before publication, 
but can't edit others' questions or published questions?
