Personally after having to deal with Wordpress at work, I think it offers
an horrible developer experience with tons of plugin violating the

convention e.g. $the_post, ...) and very poor internalization
infrastructure. And so I wouldn't recommend it
:(
Great interface for writers, though. As this is going to be used for
mostly
writing, that should be taken into account also.
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.
... And, all things considered, the current Drupal set up gives us the worst
of both worlds: the writing interface is horrendous and buggy, its markup
inconsistent, the layout features non-existent, uploading and embedding media
is tedious, and, according to the devs that have had to deal with its backend,
it is bad there too.
If compromise is a state where nobody is happy, well, that's Drupal. But in a
bad way.
