Who would get the permission to un-hide an Entry ? I think it should be the Publisher (after a bit of to-and-fro with the author).

I forgot to put the ticks in that line.
I thought it would be the Creator and the Publisher, but maybe also co-authors. I'm not fully sure about that.
Actually, the Creator should be able to remove Co-Authors' rights at a later date. Also the Publisher should be able to do that too.

>>Visitor who is not signed in should be able to read but not comment, though it would be good to give Visitors the right to sign-in using Open ID.
Does this mean visitors can post without having an h2g2 account?
>>A Researcher who is signed in should be able to read and comment.
"Comment" - do you mean post?
>>The Entry’s Creator should be able to do everything to the entry except Publish it.
Does this mean the creator can edit the entry? Delete it once published? Or, what's the definition of publish here?

If it's implemented, then yes it would. However they would be posting under their Wordpress ID, or their Blogger ID, or their Google ID, or maybe even their Facebook ID. In other words, not anonymously, but in a way which links them to their other online activities.
>>A Researcher who is signed in should be able to read and comment.

Yep.
>>The Entry’s Creator should be able to do everything to the entry except Publish it.

In this context I think "publish" meant "publish as an Edited / Approved Guide entry". It's a while ago and I've forgotten the details!

Thanks Ben. I think there is a discussion someone on openID. I'll see if I can find it.

Talk to TRiG about it, it's his idea and one I endorse heartily.

I think there might be a thread already where TRiG and I started to talk...
