From the ubiquitous "I have no timeline for that project yet" file:

We're considering bundling some sort of weblog interface into our system's functionality to draw people affiliated with the university into their password-driven personalized homepages. Students, faculty, and staff would log in to the system, then go to a service that would allow them to publish to a public server someplace.

It would require a merging of two different systems, and, as with any project at this stage of the game, there's not really any telling whether we'll actually be able to follow through with it anytime soon, but it's an idea that got a few of us excited.
