I like the general approach, definitely. Setting up various Planets is 
not a big problem. We can re-use the template if needed, and just adjust 
the Planet's configuration file, to reflect the localized content. It is 
even possible, with some work from the infra team, that the local teams 
can adjust their content themselves, i.e. edit the configuration file 
Planet uses. For the beginning, it's probably best if I manage the 
configuration files, until we have some decent web interface. The 
current setup requires editing of the configuration via SSH.

This sounds sensible to me.

Does this mean you want to have two English blog pages, like one 
official, and one nonofficial? I am not sure if this makes sense. The 
official English feed is the TDF blog, and so I think the landing page 
should contain all English blogs, including the TDF one, but not 
exclusively the TDF one.

The current software we use, Planet, does not allow for that. I am not 
sure if there is a software offering that, and I am not sure if that 
makes sense. Anyone who'd like to have their own compilation of blogs 
can use a feed reader of Google reader anyways. Maybe we can hint at 
such a solution, instead of investing time in reinventing the weel?

This is one of the long-term goals the infra team has. Unfortunately, it 
is not quite easy to achieve, we have been discussing and researching on 
this for quite some months now. It is on the todo, but I don't expect it 
to happen short-term, it requires lots of development on our own, and 
makes installing new tools more complicated, since the approaches in 
single sign-on (OpenID, LDAP, whatever) is different or even totally 
lacking.
