The first is that the developers are all in one place at the moment for the Distro Team Sprint, and during such meetings it tends to be hard to blog due to the insanely busy nature of them. Actually being together has been helpful, as you can imagine there's been a lot of post-mortem of the fuck up. And the second is that jobs could be on the line, so I suspect people are being overly cautious about saying anything for fear of getting fired or at least having recriminations. I would disagree that it's a responsibility to blog; personally I find it one of the least efficient ways of talking about things, which is probably why I don't blog that much!
