Hi, in 2014 I will continue active. :)

If there is a possibility, we may have to discuss a bit about the
infrastructure of the blenderwiki, because we will need
more pages in certain areas.

I'm working in the technical part of the BTSC
project, and I have created another wiki for
Blender, here (In Portuguese):

http://wiki.blenderfarmbrasil.com.br/index.php/Doc:PT/2.6/Manual

Cheers !
Ivan Paulos T. (Greylica)
