I am > still searching for ways to connect us better :-). I will try to explain how we use the two lists. --------------- 3. [email protected] Dev Mailing List 4289 messages | 200 subscribers This list is mainly for developers such as coders and builders. And anyone who want to learn about OpenOffice.org code and how to build it can subscribe the list. We also discuss about Japanese language specific issues and CJK issues and related features on the list. For example, see http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Writer You can find the following. - Writer/CJK Justification - Writer/Vertical Layout - Writer/Text Grid Enhancement for CJK We discuss these things on the list. We are lucky because we have outstanding Japanese coders and builders on the list. Just to name a few. Nakata, Maho is leading the FreeBSD OpenOffice.org porting team[1], and providing MacOSX PowerPC and Intel packages for all milestones[2], and he is Quality Assurance Project Lead[3] and Japanese Language Project Lead[4]. [1] http://porting.openoffice.org/freebsd/ [2] http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Languages [3] http://qa.openoffice.org/ [4] http://projects.openoffice.org/native-lang.html Ono, Takashi is interested in OpenOffice.org Mingw port and has been working on it from 2005. http://blog.livedoor.jp/maho_nakata/archives/50589358.html http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/Building_Guide/Building_on_Windows_with_MinGW We will definitely discuss about Ideographic Variation Sequence support on the list. http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=103123 ------------------------- 4. [email protected] Discuss Mailing List 19241 messages | 361 subscribers This list is for general discussion. You can express anything related to OpenOffice.org, OpenOffice.org community and ja project management. All the members of ja project are invited to subscribe the list. We use the list to decide something as ja project. OK these are how to use the two lists. When we got the things discussed there of interest for the international project in the two list, we always made an effort to escalate them to appropriate project mailing lists in English or to file an issue in Issue Tracker in English. In Apache OpenOffice.org incubator project we will do some of the discussions in English on the general ooo-dev list. And I will invite the people from those lists to participate here. But we still need those lists in Japanese. Because it's a pain for some people to read and write English. Imagine if YOU have to discuss about Ideographic Variation Sequence support in Japanese and have to express your idea about Ideographic Variation Sequence support in Japanese. But for us, Japanese, that is comfortable, no frustration :) We want to be relaxed in a mailing list, then we can get good ideas, then we can have good discussion. :) I hope I have answered your questions. Thanks, khirano
