Zensor enforces a two-step publishing workflow in WordPress.

== Description ==

Zensor enforces a two-step publishing workflow in WordPress.  The two steps are:

1. An author submits an article (post/page) for review.
1. A moderator approves or disapproves the article.

The article is only visible after the second step.  The author can add a note that the 
moderator can read when evaluating the article.  Similarly, the moderator can include
a justification for his/her decision.

= Moderators =
Who is a moderator is determined by the `zensor_moderate` capability.  Upon installation, 
the Administrator is assigned this capability.  Also, a new role, Zensor Moderator is created, which
only has this capability and `read`.  This is a dedicated user for moderation, eliminating
potential conflicts of interest.  The Zensor Moderator cannot modify posts in any way
except to accept/reject them and add a note that will be sent back to the author.  Perfect for 
the boss who needs to sign off on everything, but shouldn't be allowed to add his own opinion.
If you'd like other roles to be able to moderate, then you can grant them the `zensor_moderate`
capability using the [Role Manager](http://www.im-web-gefunden.de/wordpress-plugins/role-manager/) plugin.

= Notifications =
Every time someone does something, the other party is notified.  These notifications include:

* Hello author, your article was just approved/rejected.
* Hello moderator, an article was just saved that you need to look at.

Notifications are currently batched to occur once per day, to prevent a deluge of messages
hittin the moderators.  This will be configurable in a future version.  All messages
can be edited through the options interface.

== Installation ==

*Important Note*: Upon installation, all posts and pages are put into the `awaiting` state
and will need to be approved/rejected.

1. Upload the `zensor` directory to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
1. Goto the Manage->Zensor panel and Approve/Reject the existing posts and pages

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= I activated the plugin and now nothing shows up on my blog!  Where'd it all go? =

When you activate the plugin, all posts and pages are put into the `awaiting` state.  This 
means that they're no longer viewable to normal users.  To get them back, you need
to either approve or reject them.  This can be done from the Manage->Zensor panel.  If
you want to approve all of them, you can scroll to the bottom of the screen and hit
`Bulk Approve`.

= This isn't working out for me.  How do I get rid of the plugin cleanly? =

That's sorry to hear.  I'd love to hear what you didn't like.  
Let [me](mailto:scompt@scompt.com) know!

If you still want to uninstall the plugin, go to the Options->Zensor panel and scroll
to the bottom of the screen.  There you'll find an `Uninstall` button.
