I've got a news and events system on campus that basically does what a comment-less blog does. It has one feature I'm not sure how to replicate w/ roller though. Stories are 'weighted' and may have a publication date. So a story about an upcoming event would include the event's date, and a weight which (ostensibly - people try to game this all the time) is supposed to serve to indicate how 'important' the event is.
These factors are combined to generate a probability that the item will be highlighted on our website's main page. The more important the event, and the closer today's date to the date range of the event, the more likely it will show up. Would there currently be any way to configure roller to do something similar? Being able to add some meta-data, and a few handy velocity macros later, I think this would be pretty easy. I'm not seeing quite how to do this today though.
