approval should be required for cross category supervisors

The software provides an option to assign supervisors for categories. if there are many categories, there will be many supervisors. These supervisors will all have to be editor privilege. Problem is that now if the supervisor of category A submits an article in category B, the article gets published immediately without requiring approval from supervisor of category B. this is a loop hole in approval process. In my company I have deployed this tool to enable knowledge sharing for about 100 people. I have more than 15 categories so have this challenge because the supervisors are feeling a lack of control.

Prashney.
Interesting point. We'll look at this further to see what we can do.

I'd like to second this suggestion. I have multiple authors who could misinform if they author articles for other areas despite their good intentions.

I'm happy to say that in the new release we have included functionality that manages this.

There is a new 'private write' option, which allows you to assign roles to categories/articles/files/news items so that only users in the nominate role can create or update items.

The new release (version 3.5) will be out soon. If you want to play, you can download a release candidate version from http://www.kbpublisher.com/kb/download/46/.
