É possível que alguém crie uma página informativa na wikimedia.pt, para irmos fazendo um logo dos acontecimentos e cobertura de imprensa? Posso fazer o apanhado das notícias que vão saindo, e a página pode ser usada como "portal" do que vai acontecendo. No dia 17 de Jan de 2012 23:37, "Waldir Pimenta" <waldir(a)email.com> escreveu:
