How difficult would it be to get each of the pages created by indexpage.module to act and react like the the front page .

I would like to implement the vote/up down module and have each content type be an area. I would like to see users be able to vote up/down for each content type.

maybe a way to do this with already exisiting code ? example: there is already in drupal, a publish to front page.

how about a publish to front page & a publish to indexpage ?

I believe it is technically feasible to add a new entry to the "workflow settings" if that's what you mean, but storing it somewhere is the trick. It is against the rules to add new columns to core tables. There is a "moderate" column that is no longer used by core, but some other contributed modules (like Moder8) might use it. I'd hate to create a whole new table just to hold a single bit.

However, the vote up/down and setting of that option are out of the scope of this module.

If Vote Up/Down could set a special taxonomy term (e.g. "indexpage-type-promoted"), then we might be able to add a setting to indicate that the tagged nodes should be featured on the index page.

wow this is old : )

I think what I spoke of here may be able to be accomplished by views now that I know my way around Drupal.
