Because the conversion is almost completely mechanical, I can do it on
your behalf, for you to review, if that's OK?
There's one textual change -- the "Micron" question entry that I note.
By removing some of the preceeding text the first sentence in the
English version was altered slightly. If I do the bulk of the LinuxDoc
to DocBook translation, can you fix this one sentence?
If you can't, then...

Would more people on the Japanese team be useful? One of the things the
Open Source Writers Guild is looking at doing is match up translators
with projects, and I can post there to see if there's anyone interested
in helping out.
Of course, presumably you'd end up reviewing their work, which might be
an even larger workload.
Let me know if you'd like me to start asking around.
