At the moment, the only way to show multiple banners at once is to put them in different groups. (Is that right?)

I would like to propose a system whereby the admin can set a total number of banners to display per group. So, for example, the admin could display 5 banners from the same group along the side of the page and 3 banners along the top.

You can also associate a vocabulary to, say, the banner type of content. That way, I think it is not very difficult to asociate banners to that vocabulary, and later filter on this base in the theme.

But I think your idea is a good one. :)

Just to get this straight: If we have a banner group with 8 banners, a call like banner_display(<group>, 3) would display 3 random banners from the banner group at the same time? (E.g. banner 1, 3 and 7.)

Sounds ideal.
