I have somewhat mixed feelings about this. Obviously something written 
in your own language is more interesting to read. On the other hand, you 
may not bother reading the other language(s), and thus miss some 
information. Important things should either be in English or 
multilingual, IMHO. Multilingual would mean at least French and Dutch 
since I personally wouldn't trust my German skills. It might be a good 
idea to have 3 "editors" who can review these posts.
I have no problem with region specific or more personal things being in 
the language of choice of the author.

As for multilingual blogs: I have no experience with Drupal, but with 
most blogging systems you can create categories. You could then create 4 
top categories: General (multilingual or English) and one for each 
language group. Further subcategories could be created depending on need.

I do have one question: in whose hands is the openstreetmap.be domain? 
According to the WHOIS information, this is a person named Davy Priem, 
but I have no idea who this is. Can anyone give me/us some enlightenment?

Best Regards,

Gyrbo
