In my view, this is the most golden aspect of the web site re-design.
Our news feed should be moldable for all sorts of audiences, with each
area essentially getting its own customized news feed.

The backside authoring stuff is just as important. Not sure where you
guys are headed with this, but I'd like to see story submittals via web
form, with a full moderation scheme. (Much more restrictive than
SlashDot, but free to those that don't abuse.) Plain text or HTML.

But since I know nothing of back-end architecture stuff, I'll stop
there.
