Is it ok if I use a full page A4 portrait brochure? That way I gain more trying space than the landscape one with muliple columns, as they need spacing too. I need space for pictures too. Is a normal A4 page good looking for presentation?
It will work fine, designwise. If you use an expensive glossy paper for the cover, it will look much smarter and give the finished job some stiffness (while the paper is relatively expensive, it may not add much real cost if the quantities are small).
Re the earlier suggestion by someone to print 4 or 6 or 8 pages and paste them, there is a technique of magazine/book assembly where the pages are stuck on the edge (perfect binding).
There are two ways of doing this: one being that some service centers have small perfect binding systems (can't really call them machines) for very small run corporate brochures and reports, the other is to do it manually using Fevicol or a cheaper substitute (but they don't come in nice clean tubes). The perfect binding systems are better because they use a more flexible glue.

Or use A3 properly formatted and stapled. A lot easier provided u have an A3 printer. If u are going to a digital printer shop, they should have.

the idea being that anyone can print out the brochure - and few people have an A3 printer. Which is why I did not suggest A3.

I thought Rony was doing a print run at some digital print shop. Otherwise A4 landscape triple fold looks good for the short version (the wiki short already seems to be too long).

I've made a couple of sample fliers/front page designs in the slogans sections adjacent to the respective slogans. If there's any pro designer here (I'm not even close to being one ;-) ) please contribute some for the rest of the slogans as well.
