PlanetSVG Authoring Workflow

We talked a little in the call about it, but I'd like to make it a
little easier to author tutorials on PlanetSVG, having now had some
experience doing so
(http://www.planetsvg.com/content/aqua-buttons-svg-part-1)

1) Author should be able to upload raster images inline with their
textual content (currently I'm linking to images on a folder on my
website)

2) Author should have a way of submitting other content needed for the
tutorial (.svg, .js, .css, .xml files) so that the files are hosted on
the site.  Since these files could have security issues, we need a
safe way of doing this.  I see a couple options for this:

   a) author can zip up all auxiliary files and send an email to the
administrators of the site with instructions on where to place them
(URL folder)

   b) author has the ability to create a folder and upload files
themselves, but are not able to publish a story until it has been
approved by an administrator/moderator (of course then it is the
moderator's job to review the code for security problems).

At some point in time do we want to instate an 'Editor process' where
someone on the site has the opportunity to give feedback to the author
prior to publishing?

Regards,
Jeff
