OK - as I learn more about how to configure the site, I am changing stuff around a bit. Workflow is a mapping out of the procedure for doing some task which outlines the steps you need to take in order including any decisions you need to make along the way. This morning I set all the different content types (blog, book page, forum topic, image, page, poll, and story) to *NOT* appear on the front page of the site as default.

This might not be what we wanna do, and will need to discuss how we want everything to function - but I thought it best to have stuff not appear on the front page as default, and if you want it to, you select that from the Publishing options at the bottom. The reason I did this was there seems to be a lot of stuff we might want to load in to books, and images we might want to contribute at first and having everything pop up on the front page may become disorienting to new folks.

We might choose to set story to be default Publish to front page, and leave the others off. A user can always change that setting though for any particular content type (unless I change the access control settings I think). It should be possible to restrict what ends up on the front page entirely by requiring all that content to be 'moderated' first by someone (I think this is kind of what happens with the Yahoo site right now).
