[Mediawiki-l] MediaWiki as a blog?

[MHart]

We tried to blog on Mediawiki with limited success... Then we installed 
WordPress and never looked back - software designed for blogging is far 
easier than trying to stuff a solution into Mediawiki.

No, I'm stating that one could, if one was so inclined, use one's user
page to manage such a blog, and that it would be possible to make a
number of modifications to prevent ordinary users from editing any
user page but their own. (Talk pages would still be freely editable)
