Is it OK? If I may raise one small point that I just thought of...the primary reason for moving things into a doc tree separate from the main src tree was that the handbook and FAQ cover multiple FreeBSD releases. Tracking changes on three separate CVS branches was just all hassle with no benefit. The related issue was maintaining the doc tools in all three branches. So, to what degree do these Japanese docs cover all FreeBSD versions? If they document details of specific tools, then it might actually be a good thing for them to follow branches of the main src tree. As it stands, the doc tree doesn't take branches. Would it work to put them right in src/share/man? How disruptive would it be to add Japanese capabilities to the groff and man in the main source tree?
