My initial thought was static HTML file (or files if splitting would be
needed and make sense) with JS doing the dynamics. However, this can still
be changed if different approach is seen beneficial. (I myself rather serve
static pages as that was all I had available.)

What I am slightly hesitant about this approach is, how efficient it will
be, or if the memory requirements might get too heavy with massive logs. I
am just not a web developer, so I have really no idea whether this should
be just fine, or the concern is real.

Excellent. Let's see if we get someone to do the heavy lifting as GSOC
project.

There is still time to specify such a task for GSOC and see if there are
any takers for this. (Again I am quite clueless when it comes to
blog-software and what kind of integration one might want to have there.)
We are aiming to support some more on-line divelogs so blog software might
make sense as well.
