Lynn (IU): sequencing or branching. Also, tracking where students are within hierarchy of pages.
Peter: Need to capture this in a vignette. Not something in development right now.

Josh: Authoring freedom vs. structure. Templates possible?
Peter: Being discussed. Maybe based on a short user survey
Both site and page templates.

Maggie: Where is content stored?
Peter: Final version will not have limitations - content will not be tied to person or site, but can be tagged, etc. (still being discussed).
Keli: Similar discussions on T&L group - will post

Now is the time to provide feedback while design and development is ongoing.
