I know you're pointing out devel, but since it's not being developed 
anymore, most devels are users, and users are impacted, I would think 
the conversation would happen here.

I'm pretty happy with my pyblosxom install now and don't imagine making 
a switch before braver souls precede me. However, I looked into it a bit 
into the static generators and found pelican and myn to be closes to my 
liking. In fact, pelican supports RSS imports, which could make the 
process easier.

Comments will be the big deal. I imagine that as part of my conversion 
script (from my HTML into whichever system I use) I will pull in the 
existing pyblosxom comments as part of the content and present them as 
"archival comments." It looks like the static people are also pretty 
much stuck with Disqus which has its ups and downs.
