For someone familiar with the environment, setting up a weekly cron job that follows the algorithm defined by Luke (something like: go through the articles to be featured, find four least recently featured (or four at random from 20 LRFs, or whatever), update the Featured Articles entry) should be a no-brainer. My area of expertise is software design and embedded C programming, not web stuff, so someone else would have to do it.

Is that something you’re capable of doing?
