Yes. But its not compulsory. I've not seen blog comments used for discussing an article's progress anywhere before. Perhaps you want us to try something new, but I believe the mailing list works and thus supporting your idea should be optional. You've made it optional, but your stress on it is an overkill.
Its a good idea you have, but I personally wouldn't comment there. I think we are using the mailing for what it was intended for discussing about articles and more about our activities as long as wmgh is concerned.
Discussing here goes into emails directly. On the blog, I will have to open to read and I'll have to be checking regularly. The serious ones will follow discussions and engage in the mailing list as usual. Searching the mailing list isn't a hassle. At least Google does that well.

Guys I repeat please take the comments, answers, questions whatever on the DCE to the comments section of the post herehttp://planningwikimediaghana.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/a-wikipedia-article-for-tweaa-dce.html .
Click comments and leave your words there. You are likely to follow the discussion more sensibly and orderly there, and we kill two birds with a stone because we are going to write about the article on our blog any way.
We have the option of having the discussion the article's talk pages but really, we also have an option to give explanations on how we do our work. And most of our target Ghanaians don't visit talk pages. They are also not here in the mailing list. Using the blog is a good idea.
*Support this simple idea. Please.*
