Olá povo,
O ChapCom acaba de responder o mail que mandamos a eles dias atrás. Abaixo
reproduzo o mesmo:
*Thanks a lot for your email and your interest in Wikimedia Chapters. In
this email I will try to give you a little more
background information, and
point you to more sources of information. Most likely 95% of this is already
known to you, so I'm sorry if I'm boring you (most chapters don't have as
much experience as you guys&gals!). If you have any remaining questions,
please don't hesitate to ask me. *

Wikimedia Chapters are local organizations striving for the same goals as
the Wikimedia Foundation - supporting creation and dissimination of free
knowledge and content. Generally speaking, a Wikimedia organisation in any
country should definitely involve members of the local Wikimedia communities
– the membership shouldn't be exclusive to Wikimedians, yet the local
Wikimedia communities should be able to feel a sense of ownership towards
the nascent chapter in their country. I would suggest you leave a message on
the village pumps and community portals of the language editions which are
relevant to your country if you didn't do so yet.
* *
As the people are the glue that hold together and propel a chapter to
sustainable activity, I would urge you to try to gather (even) more local
supporters - especially Wikimedians among them - for the idea of the local
chapter and to set up a central planning page on Meta Wiki[1] and list
yourselves on the list of chapters in discussion[2]. This meta planning page
and setting up a mailing list could help you in gathering the people - as
well as organising local meetups or seminars. Once the venues for discussion
are set up, you could probably have more luck soliciting input by
approaching the active editors on the various Wikipedias and motivating them
towards taking a more active local role in the Wikimedia mission.
* *
You can find a lot of information about the approval process on
metawiki[3], where we tried to outline every step. Let me know if you have
any questions or need help finding the relevant venues to contact local
Wikipedians (e.g. the mentioned Village Pumps, sitenotices, etc.). Please
keep me updated on the progress you are making and how things are going. We
are especially interested in knowing who and how many people are involved,
and what your ideas are for forming a chapter. To get a full overview, we
have a set of default questions[4] we ask every candidate chapter. I hope
you will be able to take some time and answer them. In your specific case
(considering as well the earlier application), we would of course appreciate
a little extra attention for the time path question and who is involved.
Hopefully you can answer these questions on the talk page of [1] on meta.

Good luck and please do stay in touch,
Best regards,
Chapters committee

Como podem ver pelo e-mail temos uma série de perguntas para responder. E
como ele pediu para responder no meta, coloquei as perguntas na talk page da
página do capítulo do meta[1]. Vamos concentrar as respostas e discussão lá
por favor.
Atenciosamente,
