We were going to be hosting it here a while ago - I setup the vhost on
fedoraproject.org and was setting up a wiki instance then something
happened with them getting the name registered - I don't remember all
the details - maybe elliot or greg know. I didn't realize they'd set
something else up. Or maybe I did and I didn't remember.

Are they reading the mailing lists? Do they speak english well enough to
be willing to translate the board minutes to Portuguese?
