Hi everyone,

I'm working on a project and I'd like to implement a simple workflow
system. There would be "reviewers," "contributors," and anonymous visitors
would be able to submit content too.

Should I:

1. Have the item cataloged after it is reviewed and approved. (I believe
this is how Zope.org functions.)

2. Catalog everything, but have a property called "published" that only the
reviewers can set and use Zope's security mechanism to prevent viewing
unpublished content for anonymous visitors.

3. Use the CMF.

4. Something else

My concern about the CMF is that it seems to be an all-or-nothing package at
this point. I really don't need the membership part of it because my site is
99.99% read-only. It's a small group of people creating the content.

Any thoughts?

-Tim
