Hmm, that is certainly not the way a "standard" Zope install does
things -- are you perhaps using a site hosted at CodeIt?  They have
a convention like that, I think.

Two things:

* The PTK has a role, "Contributor," which is allows the user holding
  it to publish content without an "outside" review (obviously, you
  would limit this role to "trusted" users).

* The wizards shouldn't have to be used only within a member's "home"
  folder -- you merely need to invoke them within the folder where
  you want the item created. (Later:  Oops, I just checked this, and
  I was wrong -- the wizards seem to put everything in the portal
  root if they are invoked outside a member's folde.  This is a bug.)

I'm CC'ing this back to the PTK list -- in general, it is a good
idea to keep the discussion on the list, so that you benefit from
the whole community's knowledge.

Hope this helps!

Tres.
