Interesting - even though i must admit i cannot read that because i understand neither Chinese characters nor Chinese language(s). Be sure to watch the ports in questions for issues in the future, too, and maybe, if you have time, watch out when such ports can be updated or improved. It appears there is a shortage of MAINTAINERs for ports in the /usr/ports/chinese/ category: as far as i can see right now, only one developer is listed as a MAINTAINER in there, and only for two of these ports, so people who are able to help with porting work there are certainly welcome. Another region that may be worth watching from the corner of the eye is CJK UTF-8 character support in the base system. In particular, that includes Perl because we build the CJK character support in our C library from the version of the Unicode character database that is distributed with Perl. The most glaring bugs with CJK support are likely to be found quickly because there are several developers who actively use the Japanese language. But if something subtle goes wrong that mostly impacts Chinese and/or Korean, there might be a higher risk of it falling through the cracks undetected. Then there is documentation. While the OpenBSD project does not have the massive resources that would be required to maintain translated documentation, the *tools*, for example mandoc(1), aim to be usable with non-English documentation. If i understand correctly, translating manual pages to Japanese is not done very often and often not considered as very important even by native speakers of the Japanese language, but in those cases where people want to do it, the tools should not hinder it. The same might possibly apply to Chinese, and there might be additional aspects specific to Chinese that i'm unaware of. So bug reports related to writing or maintaining Chinese documentation are certainly welcome, too. Yours, Ingo
