Thanks so much Julien!
> Looks like there's two main ways of translating the Python documentation:
git-centric or external-tool centric.
Since I'm a developer, I'll choose the git-centric way!

> If you choose the gitub workflow, there's a cookiecutter (
https://github.com/JulienPalard/python-docs-cookiecutter) to bootstrap it
Soo easy, thanks!

> create the github repo (named python-docs-it)
Done: https://github.com/alessandrocucci/python-docs-it

> gather people around the translation
This is harder, but I have faith in the community

For now, this is enough to get started. I'll play with poedit cause i've
never used it before and of course I'll keep you updated.
