Italian translations and broken links

Italian translations and broken links

[Federico Vaga]

Hi Jon,

just one question about how do you prefer us to proceed. We are translating 
the process directory.
My idea was to complete it and then push it. This because the documents in 
here have links to other documents in the same directory. In order to cleanly 
build it I wanted to translate the full directory and then propose a patch.

Since there are many documents, this take time and perhaps we can already push 
the ones which are ready.

My big dilemma is (which is more general): what about broken references? Do we 
keep broken links which we know they will be correct in the future? Or, do we 
remove all broken links and we add them back only when they work (if we 
remember)?

Thanks :)

We want the kernel to be as close to release-ready as it can be at any
time, that includes the docs.  So please no broken links.  It's a bit
more work to keep things coherent, but it's what we need to do in the
long run.

Thanks,
