Do we want to have a page feature members? Right now I don't have a People a tab. Also, which members do we want to feature? I imagine this website will mostly be used for: (1) recruiting and (2) marketing/PR, so I think we should at least have faculty, maybe the BoA + DD (i.e., not students). Student work would be featured via blog posts (I think at this point the number of studnets will lead to bloat. We should have information about the number of students, but featuring them all is too much, IMO, esp. since we have links to the actual research labs, which would presumably do this)

So my main argument against featuring PhD students is that only the blog on the ccsp website should be updated frequently. There is too much churn with students. I think it should be up to the advisors to feature student work on lab websites. For recruiting it makes clear that students join labs, not CCSP. For PR we want to make points of contact very clear and having too many people (boa + faculty members + PhD students) is a lot. I expect the non student audience to be primarily funders and press and we are going to want to have tighter control over that.

Per discussion with @christellevincent and @YYinBurgh, we now have links to individual lab people pages. Keeping this issue open until we have an actual people tab.

My personal opinion is that we should list everyone on a people page (including students). I think how important this is depends on who our target audience is, so I may be making wrong assumptions. If I am a potential grad student, I want to see (1) who is part of the center (how big is it) and (2) what research are they doing recently; the people list does (1) and the blog does (2).
