For now, I have turned off the Japanese planets, Planet Ohio-Japan and Planet Uchina. There is something decidedly odd with them as they eat up all my memory. Not sure what it is at this point, and don’t really have time right now to fix ‘em. I’ll get to them eventually, but for now they are down.
Just found out that one of the developers of Monologista SA (stand alone) and Monologista GAE has written a book on Django in Japanese. A full 520 pages based on the trunk version and not 0.96. Very cool.
The book is a collaborative effort of four folks, including Masuda-san who lead the translation of django documentation into Japanese at Django-JP. Another one is from a blog I’ve been reading for a while, largely due to this post. I recognize the last name but can’t say I know much about him.
The book is not on sale quite yet, but will be available any day now. Of course, if you don’t read Japanese it may not be very helpful. ^_^; I think I’d like to get one. Wonder if my credit card in Japan is still active…..
As we were talking about it, voluntas mentioned that he had finished coding version 2 of Monologista GAE. They are working on some design changes before they update the live version. He also mentioned that he’s writing up deployment/installation documentation and I agreed to translate it into English for him. Actually, I was one of the first translators of Plone into Japanese way back when.
