Add Date Control for Stories' appearance and removal?

I run a website for an organization with lots of meeting notices.

It's hard to keep up with weeding the old notices of past events, and sometimes I need to start displaying the notice for an event when I won't be around to post it, so I set up the php page to pull stories from the MySQL DB based on a WHERE tblStory.StartDate<Now() AND tblStory.EndDate>Now() query.

It's a great time saver - now I'm wondering how to addPowerCMS2 to the mix. Is there a way to add this functionality to PowerCMS2?

Or can I add the necessary fields to the DB, then fit some sort of date control into the PowerCMS2 interface?

I'm much keener on the idea of it being added as a PowerCMS2 feature...

This is not a feature that is available in PowerCMS, you would need to add this manually which would not be supported.

But would Webassist consider adding it as a feature in a future release?

you can certainly post this to the wishlist forum, our engineers go through the wishlist forum to see what features people are asking about and will consider them for future versions.
