As a plone user myself, I believe it should work just fine for what we need.
Some admin stuff will need to be setup on the front end but after that it pretty
much runs itself.

The problem is that this particular instance was set up using the Debian
"testing" version from May.  Plone has since been backed out of Sarge due to it
being horribly broken in Sarge(as seen in the registration failures).  I believe
it has something to due with an incompatablilty with the version of Zope that is
in Sarge.  Hopefully they will get the mess fixed before Sarge goes to stable.

If we want to go ahead with a Plone setup, I suggest using the "experimental"
packages that can be gotten here[1].

The workflow can be as simple or as complex as you want.

Basically, each user has his/her own folder to create documents, files, etc.
Each person can then choose to publish said content to make it available to the
community at large contingent on Reviewer/Manager approval.  It's actually a
nifty little system that has served me well in several instances.
