What would be the best way to document this?  An infobox on 
Commons?

The Swedish brochure (A4 folded into 4 pages of A5 size) is used 
for recruiting members to the Swedish chapter, but also provides a 
background for people who don't really know what Wikipedia is.

The way I typically use this brochure is that I show the front 
page and ask "do you know there is a free encyclopedia called 
Wikipedia?"  Most people laugh and say that of course they know 
this.  Then I turn it around and show the back side, starting to 
explain that there is now a Swedish chapter that they can join.  
But some people don't laugh and have never heard of Wikipedia, so 
then I get to explain that part.  Both ways, we're recruiting 
supporters, and we're spreading the word that Wikipedia exists.

Maybe we should capture a short video of how this brochure is 
typically used?

In the next step, I wish we could also provide something like the 
German "Das kleine Wikipedia-Einmaleins" and why not an entire 
textbook, plus a full program of leaflets on Wiktionary, 
Wikisource, Wikimedia Commons, etc.
