The two have nothing in common (OpenArabia.org is not yet complete - far
from it - and has nothing to do with Arabeyes per se).  The "planet" that
Mr El-Helw noting is a collection of various developer's development blogs
(as far as I understood it and I could be wrong :-).  Its a diary, if you
will, of the developers and what they worked on and what they did/accomplished
on a daily basis written and kept by the various developers themselves.  It
fosters a sense of community and gives readers a better understanding of what
developers have done in the past and how they tackle things, etc.

Sorry for the very non-technical talk, but I didn't bring it up :-)

Salam.
