Comments:

You can create all the articles you want and attach them to topics.

With a very powerfull permissions management, you can create groups authorized to submit articles and a group authorized to approve them and decide who can see what.

The module can :

* Manage topics and sub-topics
* Create strict permissions (who can read, who can publish, who can approve)
* Possibility to validate articles by some users groups
* You can emphasize you content with some blocks
* Possibility to read articles in RSS feeds
* Use automated articles and expired articles
* Integrated search
* Various statistics for the module's administrator
* Option to add advertising to your articles
* Documentation (in French for this moment)
* Multi pages articles with a personalized title for each page
* Possibility to use Dublin Core Metadata
* Possibility to use FireFox 2 micro summaries
* Social bookmarking on Web 2 sites like del.icio.us, newsvine.com, yahoo search
* Link to the previous and next article (and a summary table)
* Use an integrated alert system (for example when an article is published)
* Several blocks
* etc

The module will also help you to have search engines friendly pages by using significative pages titles (created from your content) and to have meta keywords and meta descriptions also created from your content.

The module can also be use, as it's the case on some sites, to create a blog
