Hello, good to hear you consider using Habari for your site. Here is what I know.
> Security and Privacy > - All newly written content must remain in unseen draft form until > approved and published by administrator I'm unsure about this one. There might be a plugin for that. Administrators can publish other users' posts, but I'm not sure if it is possible to deny publishing for other users. > - Users should never be able to read each other's unpublished, draft > content Possible. > - Anybody outside the school community is blocked from contacting > students in any way through the website > You can't contact the authors directly. Commenting on articles is enabled by default, you can disable it. If you want that only users inside the school community can comment on articles, that would require more work but would be possible, too. You could create an account for everyone and allow those accounts commenting. > Versioning > - Need to be able to undo changes and revert to a previous version > Not possible AFAIK. > Bliki Capabilties > - Need for both dynamic and static pages What do you mean by dynamic pages? Pages that have changing content or pages that are not always visible? Habari is mainly a blog system, so it has a dynamic stream showing the first X articles, and it has static pages. If you want pages that change their content, you would have to create them yourself (for example, I created one that automatically shows all the events I blogged about). Anyway, it is possible, yes. > - Need blog capability for frequently updated content, such as News, > Reviews, etc. As I said, Habari is a blog system at first, so yes, that's possible. > - Need primitive wiki capability for static pages, so multiple users > can collaboratively edit content You can allow users to edit static content. By default, it is limited to editing the HTML source code. There is no version control, so that is very far away from a wiki. I don't know what plugins are available to extend functionality in that way. Hope that helps. I don't know which of the features that are currently not available are planned for the future. One of the core developers might answer here.
