>>>>>
>>>>> The only support I have had, has been the Brazilian ambassadors as
>>>>> Eunir Augusto (which made most of the work!), Erick Gomes and Rodrigo
>>>>> Padula.

>>>>
>>>> Thats why u are not alone!!!!. I know personally Rodrigo, and I know

>>>>>
>>>>> In Portugal Fedora is unknown, has a bad translation, has no wiki and
>>>>> just does not have a community.
>>>>> So we urgently need a web site with a forum and a wiki.

>>>>
>>>> Very Nice!!!!!, u have the oportunity to "make things happen". A web

>>>>
>>>>
>>>>>
>>>>> We need to bring together the users, and encouraging more people to
>>>>> translate the Fedora.
>>>>> With the help of Brazilian ambassadors, the site could start operating
>>>>> next month.
>>>>> The question is: who will be there?
>>>>>
>>>>
>>>> The most important answer: YOU are the beggining for Fedora in Portugal.
>>>> Do not hesitate. We are all part of all. Not all the ambassadors could help
>>>> u, but i think that with some chat and some web resources u can start the
>>>> project. REMEMBER: small milestones. Firs of all, create the site is the
>>>> firts step, the next the speechs in differnte places, ask for help to
>>>> newcommers to help you translate documentation, etc. When I found Fedora

>>>>> That is why I ask your opinion:
>>>>> *it is worth starting the site even alone, without the support of

>>>>>
>>>>
>>>> Yes! IMHO is very important. Push the limits :-). Probably their silence

>>>> A good start could be mount the website....
