Thanks for adding me to the project.

I've been using OmegaT to translate so I can keep track the changes on
my local environment. It works OK when I am working solo, but I think
I should migrate to po. Integration will be esier in that way.

Since I have translation memory on OmegaT, migration should be easy.

So, should I create package something like "debian kernel-handbook-ja"?
I never maintained package so I'm not familier with packaging,
but I'll give it a shot after migration to po4a has finished.

Some DDP documents seem to be using contents negotiation.
I am not sure which way is the best.
Can I leave it up to you?

Thanks,
