my fellow admin and i were discussing how it would be great if, when an item is submitted to the queue, you could post comments about it, for all the people able to see it before it is officially "published". once it is all set to go, and is added into the main body of the site, those comments would be scrapped. just think it would be a nice feature, especially if the content is designed more as something that needs to edited instead of just approved.

But they don't get stripped or made unaccessible after publishing. Would
be a valuable addiditon, I think. Also, the node could be commentable in
the queue, but not afterwards. This is some improvement on workflow.
Another one: If a submitted node gets rejected, it should get mailed to
the author with the comments attached.

If the queue module fired a queue($node, $op) hook whenever a status change occurs, then a small module could be written which unpublished all comments attached to nodes as nodes are approved.

and/or mailed to the author. :)
Excellent idea. Do we get a patch?
