So you're a webmaster for a website that doesn't exist and your first task is to create it? There are several options of getting this done within the MPDL infrastructure.
Wordpress μ Blog[edit]
Wordpress isn't only a blogging software. It can easily serve as CMS.
The Good[edit]
- relatively easy to change the layout, in particular because there are lots of themes to choose from.
- something like a "news" section is pretty much built-in - it's a blog after all.
The Bad[edit]
- when it comes to support for collaboration
And The Ugly[edit]
Colab Portal[edit]

Trac instance + Subversion repos[edit]
https://dev.livingreviews.org/projects/
The Good[edit]
- very good support for collaboration.
The Bad[edit]
- relatively hard to change the layout.
And The Ugly[edit]
- Served via HTTPS using a root certificate which isn't pre-installed in most browsers. Thus, not the first choice for public facing websites.
