Hi,

Shibata san's contribution was really great. I was impressed too.

I think the important point is that Shibata san let the

and ask the feedback.

I think this two way communication is very important.

I think that some members of YLUG (Yokohama Linux Users Group)
may help to review the translations. :-)
