We just have no so many people to do what we need, but first we did too many dirty hack in portint some programs to Chinese. It is just BAD as I feel so. > Would it be good if we changed some of maintainerships to > freebsd-taiwan-chinese@freebsd.sinica.edu.tw ? > Well, freebsd-taiwan-chinese@freebsd.sinica.edu.tw is just a ml, it's neither a BUG, nor a single user. Actually the most active users in this ml are also some maitainers who maintain ports/chinse/[something]*, but I don't really know how you want to appoint a category or a port to the whole ml. :) just IMHO, and I have no problem with more maintainers in ports/chinese. > -- > +------------------------------------------------------------------+ > | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | > | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | > +------------------------------------------------------------------+ > -Foxfair.
