I don't see a problem with this request. I'd suggest checking any
content for your 'br.gnome.org' site into a 'gnome-br-web' module in CVS
for starters, then give us another shout and we'll set up a DNS entry an
Apache virtual host, and some scripts to keep the site up-to-date from
commits to the CVS module.

I've created a gnome-br-list gnome org  You should have received the
admin password via e-mail.
