Because drigg allows you to submit-as another user, it would be good if you could post date them. That way you can have them come out after you've submitted them so they don't come out all in a big bunch. It would be cool if stories could go in a pre-submission-queue when they are "submitted as" and then have a script put one in the upcoming queue every x to y minutes (not just every x minutes - that would look fake. It should be a random number of minutes for example between 45minutes to 75mins). Don't assign a path/url to these stories until they are submitted to the upcoming queue. Then if the url is already taken don't submit the story.

Oh one other point:

To avoid duplication issues, you could have the script which submits stories from the pre-submission-queue to the upcoming queue begin by checking to see if any of the stories in the pre-submission-queue have already been submitted and purge the pre-submission-queue of any stories that have been dupped.

OR you could perform a check whenever someone submits a story to see if there is a duplicate in the pre-submission-queue and purge the story from the that queue before actually performing the submit.

Hi,

This is done in the latest DRUPAL-5 version of the module.
It was quite huge.

Merc.
