[Ambassadors] Active/Inactive Ambassadors+task+some idea

[Francesco Ugolini]

It's true: the questions regard report it's not simple, there a lot of
pros and a lot of cons, the main problem is how to improve the
communication between ambassadors. We are different from developer that
have "just tested tools". We are the first ambassadors project, so we
have to challenge the problem directly, lively.

I started this discussion trying to find the solution. I think it can be
found by the community and i trust in this one.

Regards

Francesco Ugolini
