Have you ever wanted to allow certain users to submit changes to published content, with an editor reviewing those changes before publication?

Doesn’t it seem like setting a published post/page to a future date should schedule your changes to be published on that date, instead of unpublishing it until that date?

The Revisionary plugin fills the missing quadrant in the WordPress content management matrix:

Author edit published posts edit others’ posts	Editor edit published posts edit others’ posts
Contributor edit published posts edit others’ posts	Revisor edit published posts edit others’ posts

With Revisionary in place, the meaning of the “edit_others” capability shifts to grant revision submission rights if the owner lacks the corresponding “edit_published” / “edit_private” capability.

Here’s the feature overview:

• Pending Revisions allow designated users to suggest changes to a currently published post/page

• Scheduled Revisions allow you to specify future changes to published content

• Enchanced Revision Management Form

• Front-end preview display of Pending / Scheduled Revisions with “Publish Now” link

• Email notification on revision submission, approval and publishing

• Works with blog-wide WordPress Roles, or in conjunction with Role Scoper

Revisionary creates a new WordPress role defintion, “Revisor”.  It also enables Contributors to submit revisions to their own published content.  More documentation to follow, but the following screen captures illustrate the basic process:

This plugin release is dedicated to Jesus Christ, the only hope for peace on earth and in my heart.
