Middlebury College has an interesting project going, the Segue content management system — and they won at the Technology Collaboration Awards. Unfortunately the demo site doesn’t seem to be working at the moment, but in reading through their pages there are some interesting ideas. Every page generates its own RSS feed, which can be used to include internal references between pages — for instance a listing of recent blog posts is created utilizing the blog’s RSS feed. That sounds much more flexible than some type of fixed widget tool, or some arcane string of function calls. And any page can be defined as a blog. Wikis are in there too. Here is some more description from their site:
Segueprovides a portal for each individual to maintain a personalrepository, be that a collection of sites, tags, reviews, discussions,
assessments or blogs…Faculty and students can have discussions, share assessments, do blogging,podcast, review and edit sites associated with the course…

Because Segue both reads and publishes RSS, it is possible to include in a Segue site RSS feeds from other Segue sites.
