Hi Jamal,
You can have versioning on Drupal content types. I'd recommend that your
consultant turn that on so that you can go back to a version of the page if
someone puts out inappropriate content. You can also make it so that you have
to approve content if you want to take the time to do that. Last, have the
consultant make sure that the upload size for attachments is big enough.

Subject: Opening up NonvisualDevelopment.org
Although the Drupal log-in controls at
http://NonvisualDevelopment.org
were present before, I have now revamped the site so that they should
work in a meaningful way. Anyone can create an account, including via
the OpenID protocol. Anyone can create, edit, or delete their own
stories, blogs, polls, or other content supported by standard or common
3rd party modules of Drupal 6. One of three themes may be selected,
which can aid usability according to preferences for page layout and
navigation. Files may be uploaded as well, e.g., documentation or open
source projects.
I have not yet written help tips for beginning users, so this will
probably be more useful to those familiar with Drupal web interfaces at
present. I invite help from Drupal developers on these lists in
answering questions from beginners wanting to contribute to the site.
Also, feel free to make suggestions about Drupal modules or techniques
that could improve the usefulness of the site. In such cases, the more
specific suggestions, the better, since I will probably be forwarding
them to the consultant I have been using.
I believe in agile development processes, so consider this a work in
progress that I will strive to make better over time. I am focusing on
this and FruitBasketDemos.org now, however, so it is a good time to
provide feedback or other contributions. Note that this is not a source
control system -- anyone can upload code to share, but versions would
need to be managed separately through other means.
Jamal
