Teasers and Excerpt Module

I've installed the Apr 21 dev version of the excerpt module. This adds a teaser field at the top of every node creation page. There are patches that can be useful (like one for restricting the field per role, and one for restricting the fild per node type) The patches are not rolled into a new dev version yet, and I have trouble installing the patch. Leaving it as-is for now, but hope to upgrade the module as soon as a new dev version is released. K.
