i disagree. drupal is great for this application. see

a preview feature is a bit complicated and site specific though, so it does 
not exist. it depends on the details of your workflow. you might tag all 
articles that will be published as 'edition 12' and then do a Panel or View 
with 'edition 12' articles to see the next home page.
