I think that probably your suggestion, Chris Davis, of a plugin to
control the assigning of posts to individual people is the *safest* way
to go. It would be very smart if, in the case of a single country editor
they would simply have a Finish button, whereas in the case of multiple
country editors they would see either the Finish button or have
the choice to, as it were, ‘pass the post on’ to one of the other 2 or 3
editors for that country - a Pass On button with a dropdown showing the
other people responsible for reviewing that country’s material. That
would be smart but maybe complicated to implement!
This actually doesn't seem that complicated. Whatever the editorial
workflow, the most complicated part seems to be sorting out the workflow
itself. Implementing it is academic after you have that.
In this case, you'd probably also want a thing that marks a post as
being edited by whoever first grabs it. So if you try to edit a post
that you're not "active" on, it'll throw a big warning up at the top of
the page, telling you something like, "Bob started editing this 50
minutes ago." That way, if you see something like "Bob started editing
this 4 days ago", then you know that you should ask Bob if he's done or
what. The message may not prevent you from editing, just tell you to
beware.
The workflow would probably also track who has already edited it, so
that you know who is left and whether a review is complete. This would
be pretty simple with the new revisions functionality; I can think of a
couple of different ways to implement it.
