Depending on how we look at all of the syndicated content we might bring into Fedora Insight, this might be a powerful way of managing these and reducing custom themeing, Views and such.  Have you ever used ManagingNews, Peter?  Do you have any example sites you can share that demonstrate the utility of these modules?  Thanks!

Managing News is great. I used a little bit. But I am installing to my
hosting, I will post username/password to this list. There, you can
try it.
