Yes I will, though probably not all the changes you propose. I prefer this plugin to be simple without compromising on usability of course. More specifically, It's not my goal to turn this plugin into a blog because I think it would be difficult to integrate it nicely into GS. If you want a blog, then maybe you better use a blog oriented CMS.
Thus, for now, translations and a more sophisticated pagination seem like workable additions, the others I'm not sure of. A preview option is actually not that easy, because you need to know on which page (template) the user shows his articles. This is something the plugin only knows about when called via the show_articles() function, and therefore not when you are in the admin section.
Having 2 instances of the news plugin won't work just like that, because duplicate functions confuses GS; you'd have to rename the function names of the second instance.
That said, you are of course free to alter the plugin in any way you want and post your contributions here, or start your own plugin. In any way, please continue giving me feedback and feature requests, as it will improve this plugin!
