== Main Page translation ==
* Translation coordinators are now trying to make sure if it is
already ready to translate. It will be not afar from now that
Wikimania main page is available in many languages.


== Editorial ==
Have you thought if not only content, but also administrative
documents like CfP could be helpful to recruit new editors?

A Japanese Editor, Mr. Ota has recently confessed it was the CfP in
his own language that had made him to attend last year conference -
Wikimania 2005. Now he is known one of most active contributors on
wikija-l mailinglist, and enjoying Wikimania translation on meta.

Translation is not always remarkable parts of our activities, and
hardly recognized. But it doesn't mean no result come forth from it.
As for recognition, we can remind a Chinese legend; a Chinese king
walked around in one day, and he met an old man who tapped his own
berry, satisfying meals. The old man said to the king he has no
interest at what the king did at all. The king was very pleased - he
thought, if he would have governed the kingdom wrongly, then the merry
old man should have concerned with his king and what he had done and
would do. The better work, the less concious - like air to the living.
