I am unsure that the blog-like style of new articles, upon which
wordpress is designed, really suits our needs. the utter lack of new
postings over the years suggests that we arent going to be generating
news items with any kind of regularity to really fit with that kind of
style. 

I think it better to admit that we are much more a static pages kind of
setup, and whilst i hear that WP can be bludgeoned into that task, would
it not be better to start with something based on that philosophy, such
as a wiki, from the offset ?
