This could be very useful. From what I've seen of most intellectuals' personal sites, they are generally not that interested in putting too much work into a website for their material, they just want it on the internet so that it can be referenced and read. If you can make a functional, good looking, and easy to update site like this, it would be of great benefit to everyone involved. Readers get easy access to material, and intellectuals get an easy place to put their work and self promote.
