I played around with it for a bit, seems like an interesting mod to Drupal. I did find the interface a bit convoluted though, as the options presented in the menu may be a bit complex and overwhelming for a typical newspaper/magazine editor trying to add and place content on the site.

I'd advise sticking closely with KISS for your target audience. A drag-and-drop feature for the front page layout would be sweet as well. I could really use something like this for a project I'm working on right now (I'm leaning towards WP at the moment).

Hmmm... I'll have think about this and see if there's any way I can improve on it.

I agree, but I'll defer it for now as there are probably more essential features yelling out to be included (and mindshare to be gained).

Please, go ahead and use it :)
