"On Mention in a Book" (書籍掲載に ついて)

[Tomohiro KUBOTA <tkubota@riken.go.jp>]

Hello,

A mail written in Japanese was sent to debian-www list.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-www/2001/debian-www-200109/msg00254.html
This is from a Japanese publishing company, which asks us
to agree with that www.debian.org is introduced in their
book.

How should we reply?

Note: I visited the reply form URL and found it is written
in Japanese.  Another note is that maximum length of "TITLE"
is 46 bytes.  The page says that "SUBMIT" can be executed
only once.

I will be away next week and some other Japanese speaker is
wanted.  I think at least one Japanese speaker should join
this discussion.  I also am not subscribing debian-project list.

Here is a rough translation of the mail.

We are KAZAGURUMA company, which is now editing a book
entitled "Homepage Best 5000; Selection of Domestic Sites
for Individual Users" (temporary title).

We have published similar books five times.  The book
carefully selects 5000 web sites in Japan which we recommend
people to visit, and introduces the top page or main menu
screen and explanation in about 100 characters (annotation

This time we wrote a mail because we hope you to agree with
introducing your excellent web page.

We would like you to access the URL written below and
reply with the web form, by the deadline.

If you agree, please leave the contents of explanation sentence
