Hi,
We run a small educational nonprofit for youths. We have two types of Drupal sites we are using. One is a single 'after-school' site where kids blog, give each other feedback and submit work for consideration for our publication series in which we partner with newspapers, radio and arts organizations to give the kids' best work audience. The other site type is a multi-site configuration with 40+ sites used by teachers and students as private digital classrooms within their schools. We are in Drupal 6 and hope next year to go to Drupal 7.
Here's what we need help with:
We want a student to be able to press a button on one of his/her posts in their school site and re-post it in the 'after-school' site under their name. We would expect them to have accounts on both sites, and, with younger kids, we would want the teacher role the ability to re-post a student's piece under the teacher's username.
Frankly, it seems easy enough just to open a new tab, sign into the 'after school' site and paste the post from the school sites, but these days intuitive ease is required. It's hard enough to get kids to submit work to us (though we get 9,000 submissions a year in tiny Vermont) because they fear rejection, don't think the piece is that good, etc., etc., so there is a real reason to make it easier for them.
