+1 on a blog but I'd like to do something static if possible. (Jekyll, Scotch, Docpad are all nice enough). We used to use Wordpress for http://phonegap.com and it was a complete struggle to keep it up to date and online. The running joke when were dealing w/ this was 'static sites are web scale'. And its true, since moving to Jekyll we've had basically zero downtime.
While our current setup is not ideal (svn) it does accommodate anything static. I will talk w/ Yohei about doing a slight refresh to that (if cool w/ everyone here).
