Similar behaviour could be achieved with user pages. I would support (and perhaps code a patch for, even if not to be included in the main code) a feature whereby ordinary users can only edit their own user pages, while allowing sysops to edit other user's user pages as needed.

My email is just to request that a blog feature be added to MediaWiki. Perhaps a blog link on each user's mail wiki page that can be enabled by the site administrator? A bonus would be having a site-wide option to make the blog's only editable by the blog owner.
When the Mozilla Foundation migrated developer.mozilla.org to the MediaWiki, one of the things I noticed at the time was that they use something else for the developer blogs. Perhaps if the MediaWiki had this feature it could be used for everything?
