If you require something a little less advanced then there are other modules about which could accomplish the task, including the news module, tutorials module, and many more, just try a search for content modules, section modules, etc.
you could also try looking in the weblinks section for other sites which have modules includinghttp://www.modscentral.com/xoops/
Hope this is of help.
