Dear Jon Bosak,

The followings are my personal opinion.
Both communication (the use of email for translation coordination and phone
conference) are useful.
The e-mail is useful to have quick response and to get clear understanding
especially for us who are not native English speaker and not good at oral
English communication.
The phone conference is useful to get good relationship for each other like
F2F meeting. But I cannot attend the phone conference every week because of
my busy business. I prefer that the phone conference for localization people
will be held about once a month.

JPLSC will held F2F meeting on December 8 in Tokyo. We would like to discuss
this subject with our JPLSC people.
Best Regards,
Yukinori Saito

Yes, these are bugs.  I intend to fix these and other "editorial"
problems with the definitions in 1.1, or maybe even in a 1.0.1 bug
fix release.

This is a good reason for putting all the dictionaries into one
master spreadsheet, by the way.  I can make editorial changes to
the document simply by pasting in a revised set of English
definitions (as long as such revisions won't affect the
translations, as in this case).

What do you think about my question regarding the use of email for
translation coordination rather than phone conferences?
