What needs to be done to allow anonymous users to add "contributed"
content to Docudo?

Some whishful thinking =)
I have checked-in/updated the tg.docs and now as an anonymous user
you are allowed to:
- Add page (but the state is restricted to contributed)
- Edit contributed pages only

You still not allowed to:
- upload documents/media
- add remove entries to the TOC
- add Tags/ categories ( this should be more fine grained, anon users
should be able to add existing categories/tags but not be allowed to
create new)
- have acces to the admin site ;)

Cheers.
Ronald

That's perfect! Were you already working on that, or are you just
incredibly responsive?

Either way, thanks!

Kevin
p.s. what if I apply some wishful thinking about the problems that
we're having editing the docs? :)

Let's say it was a low hanging fruit ;)

What problems? - are those the same I'm having or new/different ones?.

Cheers
Ronald

Cool. The best kind :)

The problems that I'm aware of with editing:

1) the "HTML" view in TinyMCE wraps the contents with a <pre> tag
that appears to be impossible to get rid of
2) syntax highlighter seems to get really messed up in Tiny. Perhaps
we need to change all of those textareas to something else. (or maybe
dojo's editor won't choke on a textarea... hard to say, that's a non-
standard sort of tag for an editor.)
3) editing in a textarea appears to present HTML, which might be a
problem to display (I didn't try saving it).

#1 and 2 are certainly the more critical...

Kevin
