All terminology is configurable (we've done a bit already), and
what's more, can be set differently for different languages (yes,
it's all nicely l10n and i18n supporting)

Nope. It's an apache config change mainly.
Take a look at:
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/aggregator
(for some reason, it's aggregating thespool twice)
You can even do categorisation:
http://www.easyweb.co.uk/aggregator/categories/4
(all blogs about Perl for example)

Yep. There's even a nice module that lets you do very different
things with the front page (and different things depending on whether
you're logged in or not). I'm using it on http://www.purpur.co.uk/. I
*thought* I'd implemented this on weo.easyweb.co.uk but apparently
not...
