Comment (by celloexpressions):

 @melchoyce I have a very similar proposal that would leverage menus, based
 on the way [http://annenbergdl.org/ this theme's homepage] is set up. I'd
 like to put together a visual demonstration alongside an outline of the
 code before attempting to explain further (it's hard to describe with
 words), but I could adapt the code from that theme as early as tonight.
 The approach would allow posts of any type to be added, and users could
 even add terms, such as a category, which could display a grid of recent
 posts there where the user wants it on the homepage. This way, content
 stay created where it is now via post objects and the front page is more a
 way to curate it.

 What would be the best way to make a testable demo of this? I can put
 something generic together or PR against the github repo although there's
 a lot of movement there at the moment. This would not require core
 changes, at least initially.
