Blojsom + comment moderation

Question

Has anyone figured out a good way to moderate comments through Apple's version of Blojsom? I work for a school and we need to be able to moderate comments for what is posted, but we also want to do podcasting, so this seems like the best bet (aside from the fact that I already remade the templates to match ours).
I'm trying to keep from having teachers log into the admin portion of the site, as it'll be confusing to them. Anyone crafty enough to script out comment moderation into the inline-admin? Or has anyone gotten the comment moderation plugin from the blojsom site to work?

O.k., so made some progress with the people on the Blojsom user group. In order to get the comment moderation plugin to work, you have to do the following (I'm putting this in for all new blogs, adjust appropriately):
Go into /Library/Tomcat/blojsom_root/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/bootstrap and in plugin.properties, add comment-moderation to the html plugin chain.
go out to the main WEB-INF directory and edit the plugin.properties and add:
comment-moderation=org.blojsom.plugin.comment.CommentModerationPlugin
Then, go into WEB-INF/templates and edit the html-comments.vm and look for this line:
#foreach ($entryComment in $entry.getComments())
and after it put:
#set ($commentApproved = $!entryComment.getMetaData().get("BLOJSOMCOMMENT_MODERATION_PLUGINAPPROVED").equals("true") || (!$!entr
yComment.getMetaData().get("BLOJSOMCOMMENT_MODERATION_PLUGINAPPROVED")))
#if($commentApproved)
and then look for
#end
and place another #end. I made sure mine are out of format with the rest of the code so I can find them easily.
This will allow you to turn on comment moderation, so you have to go into the ?flavor=admin to actually allow comments to show up. If you don't want to have comments at all, you can go into bootstrap/ and edit the blog.properties and set the comments to false. For my purposes I have comments on false AND the moderation set up so that even if someone figures out how to enable them, the moderation is still on so they won't show up.
Things to do on it (from apple's side PLEASE! ):
Edit the html.vm so that when it counts comments, it won't count unapproved ones.
Work a comment ( approve | disapprove ) into the inline admin just like you have with editing posts so we don't have to send tech noobs into the flavor admin.
