In Russia we have very popular IT-blogging farm called Habrahabr. I've almost finished my article about Semantic MediaWiki, hopeflly it will attract some attention. I also occasionnaly write to my blog, which is not... khhmm, super popular :D :
BTW is there anything like like collective IT blog in English segment of the Web? I've found the following websites where the articles about MediaWiki will be in appriate place:
https://news.ycombinator.com http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/ - very must have http://techcrunch.com/social/ http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/ ?????? https://freecode.com/projects/mediawiki (with pretty funny way of publishing articles: http://help.freecode.com/kb/articles/how-do-i-submit-an-article-for-publicat... ) What about asking questions you need not in wikitech-l or mediawiki mailing lists but on stackoverflow.com ? It creates some visibility.

Dear all,
this afternoon I was reading about the coming Flow extension. That's really great work. And I can't wait to work with it. And there are so many other interesting projects: Visual Editor, Parsoid, Athena skin, Echo, Lua, Wiki Data and so on.
Despite of that MediaWiki you can see at Google Trends, that MediaWiki is still loosing attention. And in my opinion people just don't know, that MediaWiki is catching up. And they don't know, that it needs help.
But this is important for all of us, that developers see, that MediaWiki is no longer a software of the "zero" years.
So I suggest to publish more blog articles and social media posts about this new developments and if somebody has something nice to read, to discuss or to share gives a hint, so that the others can spread the news in their community.
Best regards, Richard
