The plan is to translate the document, but it is going to take some
work (the pdf version is 14 pages). Google Translate produces a
reasonably understandable result but the output must be corrected by
someone fluent in both languages. So producing a good translation will
take at least one full day of work. I translated some sentences that
in my opinion are really central, but do not have the time to
translate the document in full. Too bad because there is a lot of good
material. Perhaps we will look for volunteers on the Italian lists,
but I think most AIT members who speak English fluently are also here.
btw any volunteer?
