Guess you beat me to it; planet.wikimedia.org will be up a bit later.
http://planet.wikimedia.org/ up now; I've only stuck on a couple of people who asked in here so far.
The theme's a little plain and MonoBook-ish; it wouldn't hurt to add a little flair. If someone wants to play with it and submit improvements, well I'm no graphic designer really. ;)
The template (default) & CSS/logos (customized) are available on our SVN: http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/tools/planet/
Nick, I'd love it if you can keep Wiki Blog Planet around as a more "flavorful" channel, while Planet Wikimedia will remain a little more focused.
At the moment administration is done via the .ini file... if there's a nice web front-end for administrating the channels that would be spiffy, though. (And if there isn't one, I don't think it would be hard to create one. It's a pretty straightforward file.)
Just a note: WordPress can produce feeds for a specific category quite easily, so we can filter WordPress-based blogs by category with no problem. (I'm using category "wiki" on mine.)
