I made a page on meta :

Please, note that there are already articles in
english AND italian.

I think work is needed to get the best of the two
versions to make one common great article. And if
possible (in particular if WE WIN the award) to have
this article translated in many languages.

Of course, editors of all languages are welcome to
work on this challenge.

Berto, from it, has agreed to work on this, and help
provide a common best article.

Danny is also very excited by the idea, and will
coordinate the submission.

There is an issue on how it should be presented.

------

I also think this is a great opportunity for two
languages to cooperate, so I hope we can do this well
and in peace.

What do you all think ?
