 * I am currently setting up a WordPress install for a client who needs some rather
   exacting requirements regarding users’ ability to edit pages.
 * Essentially, there will be two chief editors who will control and approve all
   site content. I have set the group up to allow for this using Role Scoper, which
   isnt an issue. They have essentially the same control as a WP Editor does.
 * Under the chief editors are a selection of users, each of whom are repsonsible
   for one or two pages on the site. I am having trouble getting this to function
   in line with my clients requirements.
 * I have a test user setup, and through Role Scoper I can get this user to edit
   just one page, which is fine to a certain extent. However my client would like
   to approve any changes before the page is published after an edit. This is where
   I am stuck, and have been for some time now. Giving the user editing privilages
   on the page means they can publish content directly, yet setting the user as 
   a contributor to the page seems to allow no editing whatsoever.
 * I feel I have tried every possible combination there is, I just can achieve the
   desired result of editing a single page without directly publishing the changes.
 * I hope this problem makes sense, I’ve been staring at WordPress for so long now
   it barely makes any sense to me anymore!
 * Thanks for any help you may have.

 * I have now resolved this issue – for the reference of others;
 * Installing the Revisionary plugin along with Role Scoper adds extra options that
   give solid control over content revision – not just editing and contributing.
 * Hope this helps some other people out there.
