Hello.

I have some ideas for next version of News module. So News should become more powerful module yet. Enough chit-chat, here is a list:

1. Ability to remove Topic Title without editing templates. While Story Title is needed of course, Topic Title isn't useful in many cases and makes website to look not so good.

2. Comments box opened by default. When user reads an article, comments box should be opened by default, so it's not needed to press "Post Comment" button. Something like "Fast Reply" function in NewBB or IPB.

3. Rating System. AMS has it already, but it should be improved. When visitor reads an article, a row with rating points should be displayed already and it's needed just to select rating, like in BetaNews - http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/MediaMonkey/1004522272/1

4. RSS Feed for comments. It's needed. Like ikn WordPress Blog system for example.

Please post all your comments about this, as it's very important for next version of News module, i think.
