How add "Open & Upcoming Assignments" header to problem sets pages?....Or...need help when have LOTS of assignments...

I'd like to humbly ask for some help with a useful customization please.....

When you log into Webwork you land on a page that lists all the assignments.
For classes with SEVERAL assignments it would be helpful
to have a calendar or some other widget at the top of page that makes it clear what are the open assignments and what are the upcoming assignments.
A related idea would be to print a few sentences in bright red at the top of page listing the open and "soon to be open" assignments.

I believe to do this you need to modify ProblemSets.pm but I can't see the variables that represent the assignments or where to add the code to do this.

Another different solution to manage a large number of assignments is to automatically hide assignments that aren't OPEN or something like that.

Anyone else thought about how to improve/manage classes with massive numbers of assignments?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Chris
