Very cool Vinicius! Wordpress with a damned-lies plugin would be just about perfect, IMO!

We can have WordPress content translated and integrated with damned-lies with the plugin I developed during the last Summer of Code[1].

3.4 Release Parties?
Does anybody volunteer to promote the 3.4 release in two weeks? Should we at least set up a central wikipage (continent -> country -> city, address, date, time, contact person), so people can enter potential come-togethers on https://live.gnome.org/GnomeMarketing/ThreePointFour/ReleaseParties ?
