Battlestar Wiki:Think Tank/Wiki Blog

Wiki Blog
In lieu of attempting to solicit outside opinions from users regarding the wiki, one idea is to create a blog. The blog will be an outlet for administrators and users to bring up topics pertaining to the wiki, such as announcements on changes within the wiki (updates, new policies, new Think Tank proposals, etc.). Through the blog people will be able to voice their opinions through another venue. Basically, this is for people who may not be comfortable in using the MediaWiki software or don't know how to use it, it's similar to a message board, except the subject of discussion can be more tightly controlled.
Obviously, the Wiki Blog is not meant for personal blogging, but for discussing the wiki itself. Through the blog, we can also add a survey feature for people to fill out to give us feedback on what we're doing good and what we need to improve upon.
The software to be used, unless otherwise decided, will be the WordPress blogging software, which is free and easy to set up, as well as to moderate.
