Silvio,
we Italians are a bit "lazy", however, as you know, we were the first
to traslate gvSIG 1.1 User Manual! ;)
In short, I think that two things are strategic right now:
- the translation of further documentation about gvSIG 1.9 (which can
easily be integrated with the gvSIG 1.1 one);
- the translation of a good quick guide, such as gvSIG OADE one.
IMHO, they are both easy tasks and a good point of start, otherwise the
risk is that gvSIG 2.0 will come and there's no gvSIG 1.9 available yet.
At level of infrastructure, IMHO gvsig.org Plone wiki is the best place
where to do such things, without scattering resources or energies.

Just my two (euro)cents

Cheers,
Antonio
