Yes, such a section surely would be interesting. But my question is
rather towards the technology behind, thus please give the blog and/or
news module a try to see whether it fits at all.

So far the reason for blog/news is that it takes away the burden to
manually create a structure, "fire and forget" - just create the page
and leave organizing the pages (what to show where, manage archive,
etc) to the module/cms. So yes, for this it makes sense.

So please play with it on the staging site.

ciao
Christian
