I would like the front index page to look more like a typical modern "articles" page similar to how a "news" page is set out.

Say, two/three columns of blocks, and a short intro to the articles, with the ability to have a small image included and a "read more" added.

I think gaining mass has hacked his version to do this..perhaps this is already in the pipeline..

And a default homepage setting, which would give us the choice to have an individual page load if wfsections is set as the default load module..

One other thing...

I mentioned above it would be nice to have a field for publication, and another for author/s

Ideally, there should be a feature to add frequrently appearing publicatioons and authors to self-defined pull-down lists, so the editor would always use consistent terms.
