AM features to suggest

I really like a lot of what everyone has discussed adding or supporting in the future releases. I'd like to add a couple of ideas to the mix.
1. The abilty to designate how each category is to be sorted.
For example, the News section makes sense sorted by date and time, but company information makes more sense by title and certainly Help should be by title. Ideally, it would be nice to designate sorting by *subcategories* and then by *title* or *date* or *author* or some other field.
2. I appreciate the ability to modify the interface templates, but the warning scares the heck out of me. How about the ability for a simplified web submission form -- just the basic title, author/submitter, contact, text -- would be very useful in using AM with technically phobic clients with frequent information changes. Perhaps a tutorial on creating a separate, simplified interface page, please?
3. For those of us who want to use AM as a recommended solution for clients, have you considered either an affiliate ore reseller program? Or at the very least, a volume discount price? I can really recommend AM to many clients who need flexibility in maintaining their content, but lack the knowledge to setup PHP/MySQL content solutions or the money to tackle large site development projects.
4. What are you using for your forum software? The ability to integrate discussion forums with articles would be another big hit among my clients.
Thanks so much!
oh, and the new Chris Potter Pages (http://www.chrispotterpages.cm) using AM are proving a big hit -- although everyone's afraid to submit new articles until I figure out how to make a simplified submission interface page.

Hi guerrilla!
Thanks for your post. :)
1. You're right, that would be darn handy! However, there is a workaround that might work for you...
If you're not displaying the date on articles in your help or company information section, then you can just edit the date so that your articles come out in the order that you want them to.
2. You can remove a lot of the options that you don't want visible through the setup options.
3. We do indeed have both an affiliate program and bulk discounts! Check out our affiliate program here:

...and you can see our bulk discount pricing here:

4. The forum software we use is Gossamer Threads.
Let me know if you have any other questions. :)
Cheers!
