I need technical help for some of this - and am quite busy on other things. ;-)
Based on previous ramblings - there's the following:
- The Editors' Blog is running an out-of-date version of WordPress, the 'click here to update' is broke, so it'd probably be better just extracting the database, starting from a fresh WordPress install and loading the data into that.
- We need a 'proper' WordPress skin, one that doesn't involve hacks into the core WordPress install. My thoughts on that are to have something in keeping with the MediaWiki Vector skin/scheme. [Also, should take into account the look/feel of the enwp main page and articles (from articles: the {{Social bookmarking}} template).
- I don't think Vector has been released as a ready-to-go MediaWiki skin, files are available, but implementing the skin is a little bit of hacking.
Can't think of anything else, perhaps someone can suggest ways/api features that would allow pulling data out of the Public: namespace on the Wikinewsie wiki to go into more static pages outwith the wiki. Like pulling out only the html-formatted content as happens on-wiki with a template inclusion.

So with the basic ideas discussed of a few separate blogs, how do we progress? Brian, do you want to do it or would you like a team effort?
