Yale has the requirement to allow users to subscribe to a preformatted tab, and we are planning to implement this new functionality. We push specific "Home" tab content to Yale staff, faculty and students based on their primary roles at the University. However, some people need to have access to content for other roles. For example, Staff who support faculty want to view the Faculty home page. Some Faculty members have staff roles, and need access to both "Faculty" and "Staff" home pages. Faculty may want to view the Student home page. Access to the "Home" tab for a different role is often view only, but there are situations in which a link on another Home page is needed.
I have a proof of concept working and have described the basic design at http://tp.its.yale.edu/confluence/display/YIP/Subscribe+to+Preformatted+Tab+%28YIP-516%29. I am interested to hear if you are interested in similar functionality, or have suggestions to improve the design. We will gladly contribute back to the core product if there is interest.
