In our Moodle installation, we create a 'Subject outline' web page in each course that contains (among other things) details of essay topics and related resources. Historically, we've uploaded the resources to the files directory, linked to them directly from that page and all has been fine.

As I prepare a fresh Moodle 2 installation, I'm wanting to put the html pages that are of that type into Moodle 2 as 'proper' web pages. But that makes them show up separately on the front page of the course, and I can't hide them there because hiding (at least as I understand it) is the same as making the item inaccessible. So my feature request is for visibility on the course front page to be separated from accessibility, so that an item not listed on the front page can be still accessible and linked to elsewhere. I'd imagine another icon when Editing is turned on, which does nothing more than control whether the resource appears in the list when students view it.
