How Can I Centralize Content Usage and Approval in a WordPress Multi-Site installation

I am working with a non-profit client that runs several charities under one umbrella. A good metaphor would be to think of the United Way (but it’s not the United Way).

Can a WordPress multi-site installation do the following:

Share content between sites. E.g., if site A has a section called “Advocacy”, can that same content also be shown in site B? This would need to include text, photos, etc.

How centralized can administration be made? For example, can draft posts from all websites be approved in one location?

I’m sure there are other things I need to ask, but I’m still in the investigation phase.

I believe that ThreeWP Broadcast is the plugin you should use. I’ve been using this plugin in WPMS to share (and link) content between blogs, and it works well.

Basically, this plugin allows you to:

• duplicate a post from a blog to other blogs in the network
• options to create a link to those blogs, which means when the original post is changed, other copies are changed, too
• options to copy taxonomies, custom fields

Finally, the codebase of this plugin is good, so in case you want to change something, you can go through the code, change it like you want (this is what I’m doing).
