This is great news.
I'd be happy to see the articles section improved with a kind of navigation once you are in that section. e.g. to have like a tree navigation (like in the blogs section.)
And- it would be very handy if the script can show the author's name and an option for an author description - just like the many articles websites. Plus - comment section to enable others to comment on the articles.

News section - Another one would be to enable comment in the site news. This would increase see more interaction greatly.
