I am looking for a module that can enable content moderation for the selected content types among users. That is, content posted by one user get approved by group of other users (authenticated users) just as it is on http://www.n4g.com.

One person register at the site, he posts content, content enters moderation queue which is accessible by all the authenticated users along with admin, those authenticated users interested in approving content should approve it, content get promoted to the front page then. There should be a minimum number of approvals before the content gets approved and there should be the facility to report the content even so that it can be deleted. Until approved, content should remain unpublished.

I searched all the drupal modules database but couldn't find the module that can do this. However I found modr8 but it seems to be restricted to admin only and I don't think if it could provide the functionality I am looking for.

Another module that I found was OG Node Approval which is for Organic Groups only. I don't want to use OG but OG Node Approval module seems to meet most of my requirements.

However I am very much optimistic about modr8 because I think with few tweaks it can do what I am looking for. Also if there could be any module for Dupal 6.9 just like OG Node Approval but without organic groups.

Did you ever find what you were looking for? This is exactly what we need for our institute but I'm not even sure what you'd call it. Many Google searches hasn't yielded much but I'm probably not using the right keywords.

I hope this would be helpful for this requirement, but this is a very old post. so I think you guys already have fixed it.

Since this was posted I've found some options for document workflow

Workbench (D7)

http://drupal.org/project/workbench

Workbench Access
Workbench Access provide the hierarchical permissions across "Sections" of your web site. You can use menus, taxonomy, or create your own hierarchical structure for controlling access to a piece of content.

Workbench Moderation
To provide editorial workflow, you want to install Workbench Moderation. It is a flexible system which provides default workflow states like Drafts, Needs Review, and Published. You can also change these states to suit your orgnizations needs.

Workbench Files
Initially, Workbench Files provides an easy way to see what files have been uploaded and where they are used on the site. We have features we want to add to help this module become a way to manage all assets.

Workbench Media
The Media module has been integrated with Workbench too. The goal was to include a workflow for creating media just like you would any other content.

There's also Content Access - http://drupal.org/project/content_access
NodeOne did a great Podcast series on it http://dev.nodeone.se/en/learn-content-access
