I'm also a supporter for planets that aren't only technical but have a
more personal atmosphere. We could write down some advices (if you
blog too much about non-Fedora bits, consider narrowing your planet
feed, same if you're a non-english speaker, etc).

In general, I hear more bad comments about Planet Fedora than good
ones. People complain there should be more technical posts which
aren't hidden in a sea of non-technical ones, and the same about
English posts. And this has a chicken-n-egg effect too: Fewer tech
people read planet, and aren't encouraged to write a long and
insightful blog post, etc...
