The thing with the Editors system, is this:

An editor really does become an editor the moment you assign them a category in Links. Anything that EM does, will not give your editor real editing privileges until you give it to them. So they are will be pending regardless.

Validation would be in the form of seeing that there is an application (the form could be emailed to you for example). You can then decide if you want them, click "Validate Editor" and they would get your acceptance email.

You still have to assign them a category in your Links however, even if they are validated.

So how about this:

1. Editor signs up on form on available to users
2. They manually select the category they want (auto form filling for this maybe maybe at a later date) If it is not clear, then just ask them!
3. Form is emailed to you and their name is put into a validation list.
4. You can click on validate from a name in the pending editors list, and your congradulations email template is sent to them.
5. You then assign them their category in Links, click repair, and the process is complete.

This looks like a lot of work for me. But I will look at it at some stage. Can't say when right now. It may be pretty basic to start off with, and evolve from there
