Hi,

Jonas, that sound very similar. Tell us more about your prototype. What
info are you going to display? Where are you going to host it? Is it going
to be Portuguese? Are there any sources you have found that are not on the
list in the email and the DataHub? If so, I would like to add them.

Ziko, thank you for the link. This links will definitely be useful for
researchers especially to give them a basic understanding of the
functioning of WMF. I believe it should be added as related info but once
it progresses some.
