Honestly my own opinion would probably favor more open (registered) wiki
access.  blogs don't sound like a very efficient method for feedback and
collaboration to me... but I'm not a big fan of blogs.  In general I'd say
I'm less interested in seeing them become much more than an extra feature
the website has for those that want to use them.  Pragmatically this is
just to prevent burnout... people already need to check the MLs, IRC
channels, bugzilla, web site, wiki, and possibly forums to know what's
going on, and I don't know many that take time to do all of that.  Adding
one more channel sounds like a lot.
