I don't think constraining it to stuff which is _actually related_ to Wikimedia projects or the software running it is some huge blow against free expression. Do you know how many Wikimedians there are? And how many of them are running blogs, and have been since long before they became Wikimedians? If the only criterion to be included is "Hey, I'm going to post on wikis here from time to time", it's going to be nothing but a glorified LiveJournal.
That's why I want mine fed from reddragdiva.vox.com rather than reddragdiva.livejournal.com ;-)
Even if one has a LiveJournal, one can give the URL and RSS for a specific tag. Or do as I did and just put anything for the Wikimedia audience on a separate journal.
