I don't want an entire CMS like WordPress or DotNetNuke. I have an existing website with a mix of .net and html pages. My problem is, I have very little time to update the site with articles/news, so I would like to delegate that to my volunteers. My requirements are:

Allow contributors to submit content, but not have it published until one of the admins (two admins) approves it.

Content will be embedded in my existing site on a news/articles page, with the most recent content also displaying on the home page. I do not want to rewrite my entire site to fit into a CMS framework. I just want CMS functionality for the article submission portion, but the actual content is embedded into my site.

Feature to set publication date in the future is a plus.

Any recommendations on a free tool that would allow me to do this? I know I could write it, but why reinvent the wheel if there's a cool solution out there?

Thanks!

Hi,
Spend an hour digging through: http://www.codeplex.com/
You can find tons of tools for this sort of thing, all free.
Salute,

Thanks, Mark, but no luck. They all seem to require being implemented as part of an entire CMS.
