Every so often something like Map places, people, and relationships inside a building with open source software comes along and I'd like to give it more exposure in the Monastery. But, short of opening a SoPW item ("Has anyone else read Item xxxx? What do you think?"), I don't know of another way to give a Perl News item a wider audience. I think this is the thing that the 'Front Page' option is intended to provide, but FP is not an option for News; would it possible to add FP to news-items? (Note: I do not know how big a can-of-worms I am opening here. I would hope that "Front-Page" is a simple setting available at the individual node level. But, if it a function of a category of nodes (SoPW, Discussion, Poetry, etc.), then I can see why it would be more difficult to add the ability. I have not poked around the Code&Doc enough to know.)

Comments? Brick-bats?
