I made a page on meta : http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Pirelli_Relativity_Challenge_2005
Please, note that there are already articles in english AND italian.
I think work is needed to get the best of the two versions to make one common great article. And if possible (in particular if WE WIN the award) to have this article translated in many languages.
Of course, editors of all languages are welcome to work on this challenge.
Berto, from it, has agreed to work on this, and help provide a common best article.
Danny is also very excited by the idea, and will coordinate the submission.
There is an issue on how it should be presented.
------
I also think this is a great opportunity for two languages to cooperate, so I hope we can do this well and in peace.
What do you all think ?
