I'm looking at how to automatically import content (via the module content import interface). Users want to be able to simplify pushing content from stage to production. First step is to have content manager export content manually from stage using the export feature. These files will be stored in a 'staging' folder. These files are considered approved content - and they should be picked up by an automated script that applies the changes to production on a regular basis.

Currently I don't see a way to automate this - any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you - I was wondering if there was a simple way to do this without creating a custom module. The solution should work with any of the modules that implement IPortable. I couldn't tell if there was some level in DNN (maybe at the Provider level) that would allow adding the 'hooks' to do this.

Ultimately, they want 'push-button' deployment, e.g. The customer Testimonials are updated, press a "button" on a content approval and management tool and have stuff moved into production. This is complicated by the fact that they want to use version control on everything (using Subversion). The problem is that this is for a site with a lot of content updates - many updates each day - that need to go through a legal approval process in stage before being pushed live. The workflow process can be manual (two steps - request / approve) but because of the update frequency, publishing is the real bottle neck. 

Any thoughts would be appreciated!
