We would like to be able to share changes to an existing post with other wp users without saving the changes (making them live). A nounce currently makes it impossible to share a previewed post.

Is there a way around this? a plugin maybe? If not, what would be a good approach if I where to develop a plugin with this functionality?

Don't know of a plugin but a good approach would be:

  1. to crate a custom post type (shared_revisions).
  2. add a metabox to post edit screen which will have an option to save the post changes as a sheared_revision and store the original post id as postmeta of the sheared_revision post.
  3. add a metabox to your sheared_revision edit screen which will have an option to overwrite the original post.

    Hope this make sense.

Yes this makes perfect sense. Ideally the Edit Post interface would include new buttons, one that creates the shared_revision and one that publishes it. Also a post that has a shared_revision should not be editable, nor should it be possible to create second shared_revision. Thanks! –  Bundarr Nov 29 '11 at 16:15
