I think it's a good suggestion. And when unpacking OKFn, as I said before,
it will be in the country language decided by the community.

In Brazil we are still discussing the name and seeing if it's possible to
use the word "foundation" in the case, for instance, we are an
assossiantion.

I was wondering about "We are [country]" name in Chinese and Arabic. ; )

In Portuguese, as I said, it sounds weird, in my opinion.
