Hi all.

I think I'm trying to do something that pmwiki doesn't support. I  
would like to require admin approval of all updates to the site. I  
know that sounds like a pain, and would lead to slow development of  
the site, but I'm going to use this in a school setting and want to  
do everything I can to prevent students from posting things that are  
inappropriate. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help!

IMHO, you'll need to be a bit more flexible while also promoting/developing student responsibility. 
  • Offer student passwords that you can remove for abuse.  One can break it down to group passwords if you wish so a student can only edit their group. 
  • Set up some trusted students as moderators who agree to monitor their group, or various groups within the site.
    • This frees you to just monitor their moderator work. 
    • Use the notify and site.notifylist feature and set the moderators to recieve emails for changes in the groups they are moderating. 
    • They (not you) need to moderate those changes for appropriateness and deal with it appropriately. 
    • If abuse becomes a problem, set up a moderator court where the students are judge and jury for abuse and how to deal with it. 
      • Typically, when given such responsibility, students are stricter on themselves that you might otherwise be.  Plus you are insulated from being the bad guy... 
Always, Dr Fred C
