[Mageia-discuss] page of Mageia in wikipedia (in english) has been deleted

Fri May 18 15:43:01 CEST 2012

Doug, 
+
+As the suggestion of several people, I'm subscribing in the list Marcom - 
+Mageia-marketing (Mageia marketing team discussion list)
+
+https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-marketing
+
+There are two pages with news about mageia:
+https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Archive:Initial_press_release_on_the_Mageia_fork
+https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia1_Press
+
+In category of the "press":
+https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Category:Press
+
+I think it is necessary to create a page about Mageia2_Press, or Mageia_2_Press.
+
+Thanks for your suggestions
+
+Cheers
+Macxi
