I think the reason nothing made it onto the feature column very fast was that there were a number of short articles, some with interesting pictures, but no "feature-legnth" overall article talking about either Nov. 2 or Nov. 3 in depth. At the Tuesday IMC meeting, we discussed this problem and have tried to "commission" or encourage certain individuals who were at the events to write a feature-legnth article. However, since that hasn't materialized, I agree that it's better to have a short article on the feature column than nothing at all. (As an aside, I almost submitted one for feature status but couldn't decide which one to pick.)

I think the summary feature ends up being a good way to deal with the plethora of decent short articles and lack of legnthy articles. Sorry it took so long.
