That's great!

A little background: the quiz comes from the Italian loco team web
site [1]. As I belong to this loco team, it was me to translate it and
load it on the server made available by Elizabeth. This was done a few
months ago, then there was some discussions about it but for a while
the project has been dormant. So thanks a lot for bringing it back!

To answer your questions: it was just loaded there for testing and
review, which explains why the links lead to nowhere. This is indeed
one thing that should be decided: where should we make them go to? In
the Italian web site they lead to the Italian wiki page of each team.
As for the texts: as I said I don't think they were ever reviewed.
Would you like to help with that?

We discussed a bit the workflows in this mailing list, and here is
what we came up with: [2]
It can of course be refined. Besides, consider that it was initially
thought for the Italian community, so some of the flows would lead to
the translation team which of course doesn't make much sense in the
international community, so we adapted it.

Could be, but  this means we would need to choose what to offer as
results. Do you already have some ideas?

Yeah...Italian loco team rocks! ;-)
