I get the impression you also intend hosting the journals themselves but I would recommend against that for various reasons.
I personally feel we're doing them a favour giving them WordPress, because (im speaking from experience) it is far, far superior to both Blogger and LJ. At the end of the day it's the person's choice, and we're not dictating where they have their blog (if at all), but just providing the service should they need/want it.
recently GNOME started offering blog hosting for developers. what I see is that several people moved from their independent blogs to the ones provided by GNOME. this may be also the case for Inkscape people which may prefer to avoid the maintenance of their own blog, can't afford to pay for hosting/bandwidth or just want the features of WorPress
At the same time, the focus of Inkscape is to build Inkscape and not admin and manage blogs. While there are many things related to developing Inkscape, would offering blogs take away too much focus from working on Inkscape? I think offering planet is slightly different in that it is automatic and shows what developers are doing. However, hosting blogs gets us into this sf.net like area. I dunno...maybe I'm off in thinking this...
