Assuming that you have generated an XML file from your BibTeX database using bib2xml, you can generate publication lists with WSML. Each BibTeX entry can be put into multiple categories using the custom "pubs" field, and for each category, a publication list can be generated.
The following entry
@article{myarticle,
author = {Christoph Lange},
title = {How to save the world},
pubs = {clange,kwarc-report}
}
belongs to the categories "clange" and "kwarc-report". Here's how to generate a publication list of all KWARC reports. It is recommended to have separate pages for publication lists.
<ws:page name="kwarc-reports">
<ws:pagetitle>KWARC Reports</ws:pagetitle>
<ws:menu>KWARC Reports</ws:menu>
<body>
<ws:publications key="kwarc-report"
bib="bibs-xml/kwarc.xml"/>
</body>
</ws:page>
For known authors (such as members of your group), you can have their names linked to their homepages (see below).
Additionally, in the list of publications of one person, all publications authored or edited by that person are highlighted in bold.
For both of these to work, you have to edit author_homepages.xml and add entries like the following:
<author id="jdoe"><!-- must be the same as in @key above -->
<first>John</first>
<middle>F.</middle><!-- optional -->
<last>Doe</last>
<link>http://doe.info/john/link>
</author>
