Option b sounds more useful to me though. I envision a user creating their content and attaching multiple files. Rasters, as described above, could be attached and handled completely automatically. Any supporting files that are too hard to validate programmatically could be attached in a zip file which would have to be vetted by a moderator or admin. If, at some point, there's a backlog of content to review then we can re-evaluate the process. > 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 > > Maybe at some point. At present we can enable comments on the tutorial pages which allows any authenticated user to give feedback. Interested authors can integrate that feedback into revisions of their work if they like.
