Ok, please note that I'm not arguing about its right to be there any more I just see this is a special case and I would like to clarify things. Some people thought before that translations should only carry things that are translated from the en_US tree. I don't strictly agree with this and I think if it is useful for users, it should be there even if there's no corresponding document in en_US. But it seems that the same document is available on Internet in English and if it is useful for Italian folks, it is probably useful for everyone else. So I think we should consider integrating it into the en_US tree as well. But I have some other type of concerns... Did you check the license when adding this books? The English document I found says: "All rights reserved. You may reproduce all or parts of this document for personal, non-commercial use, so long as you attribute the work to the authors." But it does not say anything about modifications. What would you do if an Italian reader reports a bug or sends you an addition? Are we allowed to modify this document? If it is in the doc tree it should be treated like the rest of our documents. I don't know about any "read only" article or book in our tree. It would be nice to make it clear how we can deal with such special cases. Gabor
