>> about Debian JP Packages

Debian JP Packages are an independent add-on set of Packages.
We, the Debian JP Project, make effort to contribute all our
packages debianized or developped by our project members to
Debian GNU/Linux itself, but currently many packages are left
being no to be contributed. So we provide these packages as an 
add-on set for the convenient of users for the time being.

Although at this time Slink-JP is released as an independent add-on, 
in the future all of Debian JP products will be contributed to 
Debian GNU/Linux itself. 

Some packages from us have already become part of the standard Debian 
distribution. This means that without our new 'Slink-JP', current 
Debian users can use Japanese language on their system for some extent. 

But if you use 'Slink-JP', you will get more comfortable environment 
to handle with Japanese language.

Debian JP Packages is primarily compiled for Japanese Debian users, 
but there are many packages very useful for non-Japanese speakers 
as well in it. For example, maybe you'd like to try ruby and PPxP.

Debian documentation written in or translated into Japanese 
is also available on the Debian JP web site <http://www.debian.or.jp/>.
