I think part of the motivation behind this blog idea is that there could be a more informal, more frequently-updated source of Lilypond updates/sightings/tidbits (as opposed to the official project news channel, which is for important news about the project itself). Hence the initial jump to a familiar blogging platform, with a user-friendly web interface that a variety of contributors can use. Writing posts in texinfo and running 'make' commands is a pretty high barrier of entry for contributors who aren't already developers. Chris
