you're welcome, my pleasure. Good to see there's someone working on the
site.

AFAIR wordpress drafts only accessible to people who are logged in? Or
is this a setting that can be changed? Also, can a draft version be
discarded so that changes which didn't make it don't accidently sneak
into future page versions? Questions over questions :)

Ben and Maciej always served this role well in the past ;) There's two
things when it comes to the review audience: 1) wording/language, that's
where a native english person with a sense for writing will do and 2)
ownership, that's where people who care about and/or maintain the
content should get aware of changes and optionaly give their "yep" or
"nay" comments.

1) is fairly easy and I already naivly used drafts before. For 2) I am
definitly not interested in a complicated control mechanism, just want
to ensure transparency and avoid accidently offending someone when
changing a page.

P.S.: Does wordpress have some sort of change notification mechanism?
