Re: italian translations QA

Dear Daniele,

I feel pretty bad... However: having talked to the QA activity lead we decided that we 
would not put these documents up to the list in[1] neither would we include them on the 
site via language negotiation. The problem is that the pages you translated are really 
fast moving targets, essentially activity home pages and the like; it is really not a good 
idea to refer to a translation that becomes quickly outdated. Note also that those pages 
do not fall in any categories under[2] (though we do have some documents translated on our 
site which are in the same situation).

However, I must also apologize. Indeed, you did announce your intention of translating 
those documents in [3], and I should have checked it with the Activity Lead back then and 
not once you have done the work. That was a clear mismanagement from my part, sorry about 
that.

Sincerely

Ivan
