Seems like a good idea. I've opposed the idea of mixing languages in
the main feed from planet, but I'm definitely not against having
separate language feeds. I'd probably advocate
planet.postgresql.org/fr/ instead of a separate hostname (because then
it can be made entirely dynamic in the app rather than rely on dns
changes, for one). And it could be possible to set up something like
http://planet.postgresql.org/en-fr-de/ that would show an aggregation
of all those languages for those that want it.
I know at least some languages have already set up "their own planets"
already, iirc at least spanish. So we should probably hear what they
have to say on it :-)
