One small step toward creating a type of article publishing in workflow in Joomla.
This hack of MyContent allows for this workflow process:
1. The Author can Add Articles, View their own articles and Edit their own articles - but NOT publish any articles
2. The Editor can Add Articles, View ALL articles, and Edit ALL articles - but NOT publish any articles.
3. The Publisher can Add Articles, View ALL articles, Edit ALL articles - AND publish ALL articles.
