Feasibility• Technologically
– MySQL powerful free database software– PHP server already in place
• Economically– Free tools– Save money in long run
• Operationally– Goal to make interfaces as intuitive and easy to use

Security
• Intranet login
• Defined rights for different user groups
• Items are giving public or private status depending on type and sensitivity
• Robot.txt file disallows robot access to intranet and proposal directory
