Ditto.
As long as these 'unofficial' groups whether on facebook or google+
(communities as what google label it) follow the notes that Keith suggested
(which myself and Tim agree on), I too see no harm but scourge to create
more with different languages.

You just need to make sure you can handle these group because from our
side, I'm afraid we can't handle more channels at the moment and above all,
we don't speak other languages.
@Artwork Team
Could you please be so kind and create a banner for this group? you can
send me the SVG file once done so I could change it every time we need that
:)
Make it looks like as unofficial banner possible :P
If that's too much, then perhaps Carlos needs to come up with his own
banner?

Sleep well and once you wake up, let me know so we could share the link of
that group so hopefully more people from Brazil could join ;)
