I would say you would definitely want to work with Panels 2: http://drupal.org/project/panels

It's still being developed, but it works wonderfully. The Drupal 6 panels I don't have working yet, but it is the Panels 2 variety, not Panels 1. Drupal 5 runs panels nicely...

in theory, should be easier because we want to make the ejournal field
cck-fields and the display stuff of the archive can be handled by
Panels themselves. It is an excellent example of how Drupal excells in
