This takes the same featured article teaser that displays on your article.php page, and pulls it in as a center column module in CMPS.
The template is easy to edit, so you should be able to have it show up any way you like. The number of characters to be displayed is controlled by what you set (or is set by default) in the v3article settings, but could be hard coded in cmps_feature if you wish it to be different.
I said 'basic' in the subject line, because there are other people working on much more advanced and involved implementations of this. Also, the image handling code is commented out in cmps_feature.php, it should work fine if you remove the comments, but that's not something I've tested as I don't want the image functionality for the front page.
Thanks to John for v3articles and Tigga/Brian for both CMPS and the last key bit of info that made this module work. Not surprisingly, both are up for HotM. Too bad it's at the same time, I want to vote for both.
