I've thought about adding some features to the news module.
First, I'd like users to be able to add pictures to their news posts easily with them hd-browse thingies.
Next a field where you can add keywords that relate to the news. They could then be sorted by these keywords. Also letting others tag news articles with these keywords would be cool.

So what I need to know is how massive of a project is this for someone with only little experience in php? Also, if there already is something similar out there, I'd like to know.
Thanks a bunch.
