Will creates initial structure of the Wiki borrowing heavily from the existing ITL website. This news section can be posted to to provide the latest news on the lab. As we get more events, we can archive the older news in a hierarchical manner. Alternatively we can keep the latest news on the front page and use this for archiving.
