Nice ideas. For reference, here are the current usage options of enwp.org: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tl-lomas/enwp.org And here are a few ideas to extend that (in transparent ways): http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/wiki/wikitech/137551#137551 Waldir On Wed, May 11, 2011 at 8:22 PM,

Hi Thomas, and all who showed concern about Wikimedia Portugal's planned expenses. I am one of the persons who calculated that budget, and thus I feel I should provide you with some information. First of all, I'd point out that none of us has any experience in nation-wide nonprofit organizations.
