My friends and I have been working for providing a kernel message online manual called "OSS Message Pedia" (mPedia) in Japan. I?d like to introduce mPedia briefly here because the kprintk patch will affect our mPedia activities in Japan. Development of OSS Message Pedia was partly supported by IPA (Information-Technology Promotion Agency) Japan and it has been opened to the public. mPedia has internationalization function inside but currently it has only Japanese contents except some sample English contents. For example, you can find English contents with the following URL: http://ossmpedia.org/messages/linux/2.6.9-34.EL/297.en (You can change the tag 'languages' to "ja" to get Japanese contents.) Also you can find some English documentation about mPedia by visiting the following URL: http://ossmpedia.wiki.sourceforge.net/ We hope we could have some contribution to the kernel messaging with the mPedia activities in Japan. Though we don't have a particular solution about how to tie-up the kernel messaging at this moment, we think some difficulties in the mPedia maintenance and enhancements could be reduced with the kprintk patch. (1) We have about 850 kernel message explanation contents in Japanese. The each content includes meaning, actions, etc. (2) We're now considering how to translate Japanese contents into English. (No bright idea came yet.) We appreciate your efforts for improving kernel messaging and the patch integration. (I added "server-messagedb-tf@ipa.go.jp" in CC.) Thank you.
