[Seattle-editorial] current feature and categorizing stories

[Gentry Lange]

Ok. I have looked at the Philly site a lot, other than the color scheme I
like it the best for newswire control. Especially the ability to actively
rate stories, and then have a "top rated stories" newswire.

i never suggested a rule.
and i'm certainly not against commentary....?
i was suggesting that we make a distinction for our readers.
i just think it's good to delineate when we've got commentary or news.  it's
something that we've talked about in the imc since the beginning.  having
categories.  with the slashdot model that philly uses, you could do that and
i think that sf-active has that ability as well.  that's for the newswire.
i think for the features center column, having a way of identifying
different types of stories might be helpful to our readers.
