I would suggest going with whatever is the simplest. At least starting
there. Once we've proven to ourselves that we have the manpower to
maintain that, we can start considering doing something more advanced.

Thus, +1 for a simple pugs listing/app on the main website. We already
have planet to aggregate blogs, and there are a bazillion different
sites out there that can host your personal blog for you.
