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 
- and I thank Sean and the others for their patience.

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".
