Clarify relation to Italian publiccode.yml

[rklec]

Maybe clarify the relation to https://github.com/italia/publiccode.yml-docs?

The Italian version seems to not be updated for 4 years, so is this outdated? Maybe then explicitly state that this version is based on the Italian standard?
Also possibly clarify, what the differences are?

The problem is https://editor.opencode.de/ generates v0.2 (see #256) and links to https://github.com/italia/publiccode.yml-docs in the YAML comments. This is very confusing for new users and one just needs to figure out what is happening here...

Hi @rklec, thanks for raising this!

I will try to clarify.
In 2022, Italy adopted publiccode.yml for its official national reuse model. As such, several tools have been developed in the Italian context (by Team Digitale / Digital Transformation Department) to increase the adoption, see the Editor and the catalogue for example.
As other European countries began adopting the standard, we migrated the project to this agnostic organization to serve as the international "source of truth."

Regarding the DE Editor, it appears to be a fork of the Italian editor, which is likely why it still contains links to the Italian documentation.

To summarize:

• This repository contains the most up-to-date version of the standard.
• The maintainers of the DE Editor tool should be notified to point their links toward this repo. Unfortunately I cannot find the repo in opencode's gitlab so I dunno who to contact but I will dig deeper.
• I agree we need to make this distinction clearer in our documentation to avoid future confusion.

I hope this helps!

Thanks but yeah this should be included in the Readme or so in a short version, so one does not need to search through the issues here?
