[Caminol10n] Promoting Camino World widely

[Marcello Testi]

Hi Stefano, and thanks for your input. I think you raise a relevant  
issue, but I disagree at some level with your points.

The Camino 1.0 press release was actually translated and distributed.  
AFAIK, no Camino official PRs have followed.
As for the last sentence, apart for being arguable, if I were to agree  
with you, I'd substitute "press news" with "hype", which is something  
that goes well beyond press news.

I can't speak for all countries. Here in Italy we really don't use any  
local download site.
This issue is probably related to a different problem: the Camino  
project aims at people who wants/needs software to keep things simple.  
These people, IMHO, are less likely to bother about download sites at  
all; they probably don't bother about downloading an alternative  
browser either. This is not to be taken as criticism about general  
Camino's policy, just a view on facts as I see them.

Thanks again.
Ciao.
Marcello.
