- ordering
- lab jobs

the practical
things you may not do currently, but which are easy on a wiki
- long term storage of lab information (protocols)
- Helps with the rapid turnover of personel in labs, collaborative protocol editing tunes protocols used by several lab members, searchable, information.

- Can even automatically remove the border so it looks nice. (OWW version)
