Hi, I'm leading a project related to the introduction of an Open Source CMS (education, secondary schools). We are testing the "standard" version 5.6 - we tried to customize some test site by introducing selected modules as taxonomy groups in order to define different environments for different user groups (teachers, pupils, parents). i'm actually working and comparing with the DrupalEd version (smashing!). Well, I don't know if anyone can give me some advice on how to build an Italian DrupalEd version. Where to start from? Drupal Ed directly or thru a ITA Drupal version, building up the missing modules? I must say I haven't been playing with Drupal for long. Maybe someone has an idea how to tackle the problem? Thanks! (especially to Bill and Trevor).

Have you checked the
Have you checked the translations, specifically http://drupal.org/project/it ?
Also, the core locale module supports translating strings, and this can be extended via internationalization -- see http://drupal.org/project/i18n and http://drupal.org/node/133977
You also might want to check out the people working on the localization server -- see here for the project: http://drupal.org/project/l10n_server, and here for the Italian version: http://l10n.drupalitalia.org/
Cheers,
Bill
