If DSA does not want to host a wordpress, then let's go then for non-DSA
hosting. This does not mean blog.d.o have to stay forever away from Debian
machines, but currently I am more motivated in working to launch all this
that spend several weeks trying to look how to fit the needs listed by DSA.
(I have not talked with them, but I refer here to zobel's email in this
thread).
In some months, when the service has been working more officialy advertised
and maybe changed a bit in some points (people joining can make a big
difference), we can reevaluate this decision.

I am a bit confused for this, it is pretty much what is already just
changing the name from news to blog and updating the workflow to encourage
DDs contributing news posts. Do I understand correctly?
I am OK with the name change from news.d.n to blog.d.o to make it official,
but I do not see the advantange of switching from news.d.n to blog.d.n.
(Actually, blog.d.o|n make it looks like a blog service for DDs that is
very different of our goal)
Maybe it is worthwhile starting another thread about this?
