Is there some automatic way that we can have the news section of our
main page only display the first N news items with all the rest
appearing in the "news" page?
Semi-automatic. :)
The home page now includes what is called the excerpt of the news page.
If you look at the news page, you see the {excerpt} section now spans
all news items (except the last one).
So, simply move the {excerpt} scope to define what gets included on
the homepage.
Subsequently, make sure to regenerate the site, as the auto exporter
plugin is not smart enough to deduce that if you change the news page,
the home page should change too.
Regenerating requires confluence admin permissions (which again, is a
limitation of the auto exporter plugin).
