  • Some funny talk about the web published source. http://www.ascii.co.jp/ascii24/call.cgi?file=issue/1999/0817/topi02.html reported Wichert Akkerman said he didn't know whether there is Japanese member in Debian or not. Of course, At least 10 Debian JP member is now in Debian and awaiting for the register another 10. Some opinions about this:
    • Wichert tease the ASCII reporter.
    • Wichert really don't know if the JP member is there or not.
    • Does it mean JP release is evil one?
