I think we should be able to publish revisions on timer... i want to be able to work on a new revision for a node without having to publish it.

For example, I run a training program website, where we publish training materials.

Usually we have a place holder until the program starts.

So when I need to update it, I have to create another node, work on it, and then update the path so the new one has the same name as the old one... then delete the old one...

There is no way to have a draft version of a page...

By allowing revisions to be published on a timer this can be solved.

What do you think?

Since there is already a date on node_revisions, it should be trivial to allow a person to enter a future date when editing a node, and checking a box like "switch to this revision on this date" below published date.

Thoughts?

It would need a custom module to do this, or a combination of Revisioning (for revision handling and publication workflow) and Rules (for time-based publication). Anyway it doesn't belong to Drupal core. Closing.
