New on CTAN: fancyhandout
fancyhandout breaks with some of LaTeX's principles and redefines basic LaTeX commands with the aim of producing well-designed and clearly structured handouts: A sans-serif font is used by default; sections are not numbered but highlighted by underlining; head- and footline display document information; and for avoiding too large whitespace around the text, the margin sizes are adjusted to a proper value. All together, fancyhandout provides a means of typesetting documents not exclusively consisting of running text in a beautiful way.

fancyhandout – A LaTeX class for producing nice-looking handouts
This package breaks with some of LaTeX’s principles and redefines basic LaTeX commands with the aim of producing well-designed and clearly structured handouts: A sans-serif font is used by default; sections are not numbered, but highlighted by underlining; head- and footline display document information; and in order to avoid too much whitespace around the text the margin sizes are adjusted to smaller values.
All in all, fancyhandout provides a means of typesetting documents not exclusively consisting of running text in a beautiful way.
fancyhandout depends on the following other LaTeX packages: csquotes, enumitem, etoolbox, fancyhdr, geometry, and xcolor.
