I think the simplest thing to do is to setup a form that allows members to
upload new content, including both HTML files and graphics, to a special
directory. The script that handles this could be setup to reject anything
that isn't HTML or graphics, and it might even be programmed to do some
preliminary validation of HTML files to make sure it follows our
templates. For example, it could check for the presence of certain strings
in the file. To make this even more sophisticated, we could allow members
to upload new HTML files and graphics anywhere, or at least in any
directory designated for game descriptions, and to also allow whoever
originally uploaded a new file to upload updates of it. This would require
keeping track of who originally uploaded what. Files newly uploaded in this
manner could be kept hidden until approved by an editor, and the uploading
script could also place new pages and graphics on a What's New page
accessible only to editors.
