I agree with both of you: WP is kinda sucky for developers, but pretty 
great for users. That said, assuming those who maintain it don't have 
major problems (as Ben indicated) perhaps it would make sense as the 
direction to move in.

Selfish detail: my weekly blog runs on Wordpress and I've been thinking 
of moving the "This Week in KDE" posts to KDE infrastructure and opening 
it up to more contributors, so having an existing WordPress instance 
that the content would be plugged into would ease the transition.
