– A little history– Module status– Demo– Roadmap

Agenda

– Multiple skill levels– Access and Permissions

– Permissions by “Sections”, not just content types– Hierarchal permission inheritance

– Extensible workflow states– Modify published content without going live

Common challenges

– Drupal learning curve– Where is “my content”?– Content can be reviewed before publication– Changes to live content can be reviewed– “Our old CMS did it”– Unstated expectations
