I'm agree with this. And is really usefull that we try to explain
ourself to the others to come at the thk more in sync.
I suggest to share the text also in the hiberian and italian hm mailinglist.

Could be a nice thing to do. I'll think about it, also because there is
a group of italian translators for the book:
soberania tecnologica vol 2 - hacklabbo.indivia.net/book/sobtec2/
and maybe we can join the two things or find a way to do it.
Ah, yes, a week ago we had the italian pre-hackit in Rome, that is an
assembly to confirm the place and the dates for the next italian hm.
So the next italian Hackmeeting will be in Genova (north-west of italy)
on 6-7-8 of july in Buridda!
See you soon
