The [[Wikimedia Foundation launched last week as a tool to share s the different projects of the organization.

As announced by Scott JeraldsPlanet Wikimedia is a beta test of an aggregator for weblog posts by people involved in Wikimedia projects. Previously a list of Wikimedians who blog was available on the Meta project site, but this was limited to a list of links to individual blogs and their web feeds. The people identified as bloggers include more than half of the Board of Trustees, although some have a history of only sporadic posts.

Blogs can be submitted for inclusion on the coordination page for the aggregator. The project is intended for blogs dedicated exclusively to wiki-related subjects, or those that can provide a filtered feed limited to relevant posts. A broader alternative that collects feeds from many of the same blogs without filtering is available independently at Open Wiki Blog Planet.

Initially, the project is running in English only. The possibility of incorporating additional languages into Planet Wikimedia was also suggested. Several languages have begun to attract support, and it was pointed out that a Polish equivalent already started last year.
