Most settings are located in the feature blocks, but G2 also has a few global settings.
Custom main page. Is used for the glossary home page, replaced by an alphabar if empty. Starting with the D5 version, it can be set in either of two ways:
by providing the nid of an existing node, typically an unpublished story node. This is the default method in the 4.7 branch, and the simplest way to customize the module for beginners
by providing the name of a node-generating function (starting with the D5 branch). This function must return a “node” object, which can contain:
a title for the page. If missing, G2 will use its own default title
a body for the page. If missing, G2 will replace it by an alphabar
a nid, which should be zero
in both cases, starting with the D5 branch, the validity of the parameter is tested: the nid or function must exist

The settings for the WOTD RSS feed are grouped with the settings for the WOTD block.
The “generator function” mechanism introduced in D5 makes main page maintenance easier for sites using version tracking software : the page can be generated in the general site-specific module, where it can be backed up and versioned just like any other source code.
