Hi Steve
      At IWMW 2011 we announced the launch of the Institutional Web 
Teams blog aggregator - see http://iwtb.ukoln.info/

A search for 'wordpress' gives some information on what institutions are 
doing with WordPress - this could possibly provide useful info for your 
document:

Hope this helps

Brian
