Last week at a local Drupal User Group I saw a presentation about new and experimental features that will be in Drupal 8.3 and two of them got me very intrigued - Workflow and moderation.
It got me thinking about how we handle the content approval workflow in Joomla and what can we do to improve the entire process to make it as powerful, flexible and easy to use as we possibly can.

Every Open Source project faces many of the same problems. Sure, our solutions and implementations will be different but we are all looking at the same things. We can all benefit from each others experience. This is one of the reasons that I regularly attend my local Drupal user group. Not to learn about Drupal but to learn how they addressed the issue and what were the reasons behind the decisions.
Of course the fact that they are a great group of people and we enjoy a beer or three together after the meeting helps as well.

Usually I write to transfer information from my brain to your brain via your eyes. This post is dual purpose. It will also serve as a reminder to myself how to do something I forgot you could even do. Hopefully putting it here will remind me in the future.
Joomla uses the almost ubiquitous TinyMCE as its default editor. An editor that is immensely powerful and yet something most of us do little to learn about.
