That plug-in would be a wonder, and probably the reason why Scoop in its present form will only last another 12 months at most.
I've been re-reading 'TOOLS FOR CHANGE' - An invitation to dance ISBN 1-904235-55-7. IMO we should all have a look at this book, because it outlines the dynamics and development of communities. I was sent a copy by a member of ET, and the insights I have gained from this book are alone worth all the hours, days and weeks I have spent here ;-)
Hopefully, if TGB and I can get our act together (with the other contributors to ET-TV), we might be able to buy some commercial software that would enable all we wish to do. You can't be me, I'm taken
Personally, I would suggest cloning the scoop functionality we like on top of Zope/Plone/CPS. Can the last politician to go out the revolving door please turn the lights off?
We've had this discussion a few times. Our Dear Leader has admitted to knowing nothing about coding. I am not sure we have any technically literate people aboard in admin, other than our champagne socialist.
