OVERVIEW 

One of the Minerva project goals is to help users quickly and easily put up a simple website that looks good. A typical user is a departmental website, the Departmental Template tool will be available to the whole community.

This will be of interest to users and sites which:

* want a good-looking site but don't have  web designers on staff
* want to  update their sites themselves
* want a simple, straightforward publishing tool that doesn't require a lot of training
* want a low- or no-cost publishing tool
* publish mostly static html content
* may publish simple dynamic components, like an events calendar or showing an RSS feed

TOOLS
We are working wtih DKS Interactive to license their site-building software. Here's a link to the  site building demo they set up, using the IS&T site as an example.
