New: Hold ideas and suggestions for moderation

Idea submissions on the map can now be held for moderation so that you can choose which ones will be presented publicly. This is great for the production of local lists where submissions will require further vetting and review.

As admin, you now receive timely email notifications once consultations are published or due to close.

New team editor: Set up a team and populate a team section on project pages
