That said, WordPress is the best blogging software because it does everything you'd want a blog to do. Moving from that to cobbling together a blog in MediaWiki would be like moving to TiddlyWiki because MediaWiki is hard.
As someone who has to administer WordPress for work, I think almost everyone who self-hosts WordPress should just be outsourcing it to wordpress.com. (I self-host my own sites 'cos I'm a control addict and because I know enough to do it relatively safely.) * security hole of the month, requiring immediate upgrade to latest * keeping PHP from eating all your memory (fiddling with fcgid) * multisite functionality is weird, clunky and frequently just doesn't work properly * wp-cron.php is an abomination and should be disabled wherever possible * etc etc. So outsourcing it is basically a good idea - if we can meet privacy policy and, more stringently, privacy *expectations*. Expectations are going to be more stringent than the letter of the policy, but we should still meet them for the blog just as well as we presently do. - d. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
