systems (LDAP) but offers non-university users the possibility to participate► Two possibilities for users’ contributions: direct contributions (like a recommended
link with a description) and advanced aggregator. These contributions will be tagged by authors (folksonomy)

social media sites, mail ► A community board displaying users’ contributions, where different tabs will enable
users to check them by popularity, time of submission, tags…► A profile displaying personal information about users but also their last contributions,
in a set of blocks: internal contributions, external contributions, comments…► A social network enabling to set relations with other users, that will also be
displayed in their profiles. A friends’ feed is created with the contributions of these users and will be displayed in a tab included in users' profile
