Hi,

I´m working on a approval workflow system for KDE-Look.org. Aaron  
requested this feature already.
I hope to have it ready in the next few weeks. So a moderator team can  
do a quality check for plasmoids in the future.

In the meantime I can give Admin rights on KDE-Look.org to anybody who  
wants to help and I trust.
Please send me a message if you are interested.

Cheers
Frank
