Hi   Andrea


Why not join with the ODFAuthours folks and work together - this old
style of NL groups being a separate group - that was not really the best
way IMO for many things in the old OpenOffice.org. That division IMO was
a result of folks resisting the corporate nature of the project, the SUN
ownership. 

This is gone now, it is a non-profit organization at ASF, there is no
reason to keep referring to the Italian group as a separate 'we' as you
do in your email. 

Why not work so a document starts in Italian and is translated to
English, or Japanse or Swazi - but all as one, for once, and not this
division by language, not like it was.
