Draft / future discussion

edited May 2008 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
It'd be really nice if someone would make an extension that lets users create drafts/future discussion.

How would I like it to act:

1. Users start discussions with a pre-set publish date and category
2. Those discussions land in one category - lets call it "Drafts" and stay there in chronological order until the pre-set date
3. After that they're automatically moved to the appropriate category set by the user

I can see a lot of potential uses of this extension - not only for creating drafts. And it'd be nice if one could choose whether users can see and comment on those drafts or not.

    Hmmm... perhaps one can only see their own drafts in the draft category (or possibly allow select others to view and/or edit a certain post) and allow them to select which category it will be in. The only thing that's left is a drafting mechanism for comments! Another thing that needs to be done is to remove the edited flag from it once it's posted, and say something like:

    Drafted (date/time of first draft) Posted (date/time submitted)

    and also:

    With contributions from: (username)

    Still keeping the X minutes ago / X hours ago / etc.

    This would be especially useful for the blogging addons, so compatibility is a must!
