I think http://dev.wikimedia.org/ would be a good place to have a development wiki with blog stuff.
There are already two development wikis. One is at http://mediawiki.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page and never used. The other is at http://wp.wikidev.net/Main_Page which makes more sense than dev.wikimedia.org would because it means the developers still have their stuff to work from when Wikimedia's servers are down.
The ability to add something blog-like to an existing wiki page would be better than having to have it outside the wiki. You lose the advantages of recent changes, watchlists, contributions lists etc if you have to use an external forum. I think this why the Wikimedia Boards at http://boards.wikimedia.org never took off.
