Yep...there is plenty of good stuff, just like there is plenty of it in the fiction forum as well.
The problem here is that we lack the manpower to do this. Getting an article onto the frontpage isn't a simple copy and paste job, the entire formatting has to be redone. It's not much, but even a bit of this repetive manual work is not very motivating for volunteers who don't get paid for it
And things get even more complicated if images are involved. Only very few people have the required priviledges to upload images, as due to the configuration of the content management system the right to upload images comes in a package with full control over the entire frontpage menu structure - and that is something that we don't hand out lightly.
