Articles 1.0.0-pl has been released:
http://modx.com/extras/package/articles
The new features for 1.0-pl include import from WordPress, automatic update sending to
Ping-o-Matic on publish of posts, a much more powerful articles grid with batch editing, and some major bug fixes.
This is a complete blogging/news solution for MODX
2.2 and later only. It integrates a variety of addons (Quip/Archivist/getResources/getPage/tagLister) into one unified interface to streamline blogging. Also, it stores that data as a MODX Resource, integrating it seamlessly into your tree and allowing other MODX Extras to easily use its data.
The official documentation is here:

The bugtracker is here:

Please test, file bugs and give feedback so we can fine-tune Articles as we get closer to MODX 2.2-pl!
