What do folks think? Anyone have experience with using a CMS in this manner where anyone can create posts and moderators edit/approve/post them? Are there refinements of this idea that would work better?
It's a decent idea. We had a blog before but no one really used it. What you're looking for is a multi-author environment like drupal et al.
Seeing as how we HAD something like this and abandoned it due to usage, perhaps someone can do this offsite and use their official dev capacity to "pimp it". If it gets big/popular enough, we can move the traffic to the official site.
I'd be fine hosting it on the repoman server, but to work, it would definitely need a big link off the front page and general buy-in from the developers and community. I'd also love some advice from those who have set up a CMS in this fashion before.. it's a bit of a different requirement to accept posts from anyone and allow moderation/editing workflow than your typical blog. - P
