Hi Lodewijk, I'm happy to hear that there will hopefully be a Spanish language WLM Facebook page. Will be happy to coordinate sharing posts when they put them up. I've retweeted a couple of posts from @wikimonuments, but Elke, please feel free to email me if you see that I'm missing tweets.
How do you imagine I could help with sharing stories of the organizing/participations, Lodewijk? Happy to try to help. -M On Wed, Aug 15, 2012 at 3:36 AM, Lodewijk <lodew...@effeietsanders.org>wrote: > Hi Matthew, > > great thoughts here!
