- general information about school
- individuals’ bio pages
Dynamic
- school news/updates announcements
- events (talks, seminars)
- individual’s projects, publications, research diaries
- forums and/or mailing lists

Privacy
- by role (faculty, student, support staff)
- by group (research group, department, student seminar)
Ease of use (wysiwyg, internal links, inserting pictures, screencasts, guided forms)
Distributed workflows (no single editor)
Publication possibilities (ejournals, research papers, copies of publications)
Staff/student resources repositories (uploaded forms, etc.)
Surveys
Coursework

Books for static content
Blogs for individual research diaries
Biblio for bibliographies
Forums for, well…, forums
