Hi Tim,

contributors do not have publishing rights, only access to :
– Dashboard
– Their profile
– Their comments (as far as I remember)

The idea behind contributors is to allow people to register, edit  
their profile and comment when logged in. Further functionnalities  
will come later, including :
– per user page displaying your content.
– more detailed profile page

Having people who can only publish drafts is an interesting feature I  
may add someday. For now I also plan to allow admin to set up the  
modules accessible by the different roles, but this will only  
avaliable... later, when I have time.

Cheers,
Frédéric
