I'm setting up a non-profit web page, they need stuff. No one person is requesting it, the org as a whole needs it.

I'd like to see a list of items needed promoted to the front page as opposed to a list of users that want stuff.

i believe that when views is ready (and cck) you can do this by creating a 'meta-user' (the org as a whole) and simply call in that node and related items into the front page view...or perhaps via a block placed into content specific to the front page or any page...

Zilla's suggested approach is exactly what I would recommend. You need ownership so that somebody can edit the nodes - this is part of the fundamental design of Drupal.

That said, you can build a view that pulls out only the wishlist items you want for a front page display. While the wishlist module's own displays don't use views (they predate the option), views support is built into the module. You can craft a view that pulls back all wishlist items with a special category, or all wishlist items by users in a particular role.

To see all items posted to your site promoted to the front page, simply set that in the workflow for the wishlist content type in your content administration area.
