It's a blog aggregation. We get one for the Document Foundation, see
http://planet.documentfoundation.org/
So when I write on my blog, it is displayed on the planet of The 
Document Foundation, but also on my own blog or the other planets I'm 
subscribed to.

yes, you're right :)

The idea is to get the possibility to aggregate the blogs per language 
but also have a display of all the language.
When we were in the OOo Community, we did settle a planet displaying all 
the languages. I really like it because it shows the richness and the 
diversity of our community. But on the language community and users 
side, it's really more convenient to be able to read a given language.

Kind regards
