Thank you, Alexandre
We are going to interview three kinds of Wikipedia users in Brazil:
mobile readers (those who read Wikipedia on their phone), potentials
(those who read Wikipedia on their computer only, but have a mobile
phone with Internet connectivity so potentially they can read Wikipedia
on the phone) and editors.
Our plan is to do interviews in Sao Paulo, Salvador and Porto Alegre.
Our schedule is not finalized, but we are looking to conduct the
interviews in late May and early June. We'll keep you updated.
We are hoping you or others can help us in recruiting Wikipedia editors
in Sao Paulo, Salvador and Porto Alegre.
Although, we have been talking to translating services in Brazil, we
have not found anyone really good. We are looking for translators in Sao
Paulo and Salvador (for the actual interviews). We would also need help
in transcribing the interviews from the study. Any leads or help are
welcome.

Ni! Hi Mani and Parul,
My name is Ale, one of many volunteers for the Wikimedia Brasil movement.
As you know, Kul just wrote to our mailing list telling of your trip,
so we want you to know that we are right here for anything you might need.
Let us know as soon as possible about your travel details and plans for
researching mobile usability here, so we can be as helpful as possible.
He also told us you do not understand portuguese. Are you going to hire
a translator or assistant? What is the nature of your research, and
where will you conduct it?
Wish you well, and soon a very warm welcome,
ale
