In my experience lot of Free Software planets "just happen". They are setup for the hackers themselves, who already work virtually together most days. It is an extra channel to get to know each other better. The planet is for those who are on it, whose blogs are being aggregated... everyone else - readers and observers - get what they get :) Only when your developer community grows beyond some critical mass (more than say 20 active hackers that regularly blog) do the "hard questions" start. And maybe then it is time for a new "news/platform" planet aggregator for those that might a lot less interactive with the community itself. It kind of depends on your audience.
