Hi Marc, Simos, all, I take a look in the wiki page and it looks good. I've added the lang bar in our wiki. Maybe the page should be moved too (something like marketing/magazine/pt-br, perhaps). I will resume the production flow of Revista BrOffice in a graphic then I share it here. This flow is something I would like to have done for a long time, but I always have put off. So now I'm doing that. However, the steps are described in this page: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/PT-BR/Revista/Guia
