I've suggested a while back
(https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/TS-1271) to import the
old Toolserver blog/comments to blog.wikimedia.de and then
post status and ongoing project reports there.  It has a
different audience, probably more (potential) donors :-),
but showing them what "some server in Amsterdam" is used for
isn't a bad idea IMHO.

amaranth needs to be fixed before that, though :-).
