There is ongoing work for an RFP by the board to improve the python.org publishing system/site to allow us to self-host these things. Moving PSF properties off of it, and onto another "hosted by someone else" site is probably not a good idea, but our hands may be forced if google/blogger can not resolve the issues.

jesse The whole idea of a Wordpress-(or similar)-based solution is self hosting, and less reliance on outside providers like blogger. Wordpress is just a bunch of PHP code you place in a directory on your server and you have a blog. You don't depend on anyone, except your own hosting.

As Jesse has said, there is an RFP in development to improve python.org to the point where we can self-host blogs and the like and deal with the associated user account administration appropriately. But when it comes to collaborative blogs, it isn't just a matter of dropping a blogging engine in and running with it.

Cheers, Nick.
