Definitely - all of this is in the cards. I have a lot of ideas about how I'd like it to look.
What I don't have is a lot of experience editing the wordpress template system.

Hi all - I know there have been challenges in getting this group going

Barring an IRC meeting (and I do want to participate there as well) I have a couple of quick questions.
How many do we have on this group list altogether? I should probably be able to find that out on the list page.
Secondly, we've now got the software in place for a wordpress blog at blog.wikimedia.org. It's in the freezer for now (i.e. not operating :) but not for long.
What I'm wondering is if we have any pros on this list, or if we could recruit someone, who could revamp the graphics template slightly to make it look a bit more wikimedia-esque. It will always be on a page all its own, but I'd at least like it to look/feel as much like the WMF wiki as possible.
Eventually we want to unleash some new mediawiki coding/functionality that will allow us to have blogging convention built right into the mediawiki system - so there'd be no transition. I suspect a huge number of media wiki users would treasure this option.
Any thoughts? Let's discuss...
Just as a suggestion, I would replace the WikiMedia Fundraising logo, with perhaps "Wikimedia Blog".

I'll take a look tonight, I have never done WordPress in the past. If after reviewing Wordpress, I have a grasp and some ideas, I'll post tomorrow. :)
