From a quick Google, maybe:
- https://drupal.org/project/imageeditor
(I know nothing about it other than reading that page - might be better 
options - anyone else have experience?)

Yep, I understand. I wasn't advocating Wordpress for the Dot, just pointing 
out the main pain point for me in the Dot's Drupal compared to personal 
experience with Wordpress.

The pain point is permissions - it would be nice to have people able to make 
their own articles but not publish them. Our solution in the past for people 
who it would be good to have that ability is to make them Dot editors, but 
that also (of course) enables publishing, which should be quite a small group 
for coordination. I'm sure this will be possible, just needs someone to drill 
down into the Drupal roles and permissions - possibly it needs more modules, 
according to:

- https://drupal.org/node/328236
- http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/7862/how-to-disable-publish-content-for-a-particular-role
                
- http://drupal.stackexchange.com/questions/3468/forbid-the-publication

Not knowing much about Drupal, I find it hard to judge... I/others will either 
need to do a fair bit of reading or perhaps other's on the list have some more 
knowledge on this?

Cheers,
Stu
