Further comments from the person in China -- apparently there is a huge amount of devastation and a lot of confusion, so if anyone would care to spend a little time on this: you can do this by adding any resources you found using tagging talochina in delicious so that we can find tht and share that with other people , I can push that to Yeeyaners , so other people can choose to translate another thing is you can develop a earthquake disaster free content at Wikieducator so that everyone can benefit from that , you know , epecially some psychological help for people who lost their family in the earthquake , it will be very helpful , if you can develop some thing like that in English , we will surely transalte that for you , it is for the people alive rather than for the dead people , I assume .
