I was thinking somewhat the same regarding bloging on the website,  
since it could give the site more life. I also agree that the front  
page shouldn't be static and the same as the About page.

If it could be implemented in Plone, fine. An alternative would be  
that folks could add to a rss feed or that the website could kind of  
assemble a set of personal rss feeds.

Then the example "showcase" would be superfluous. It might be  
anyways, if the blog-idea is realized.

The good thing (tm) regarding makeing it blog'ish is that people will  
actively do something to make the site live since it will display  
there work. The bad thing is that it no doubt will be a mess in some  
sense. Even if there were made a detailed guideline for what a post  
ideally would consist of (fx documentation of some sort given the  
kind of content) it would not last if not actively moderated by some  
one or some "group". However, that "mess" might  be a good price for  
activity, hence promotion, on the site.
