Post scheduling would be much wanted feature if I am not wrong. Its there in WP as well as Joomla. Post scheduling gives content authors to have more control over when there content is published and also they don't have to manually logon to the site to publish the post. All the best with your CMS tool

Another nice feature would be to know how many times an article / post has been viewed in the article manager itself.

Is it going to be paid or Opensource ?
