kprintk patch and OSS Message Pedia

[Takahashi, Hideki]

Hello Mr. Martin schwidefsky,
  I expect your patch will be merged into the kernel tree soon.
  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@xxxxxxxxx" in CC.)

  Thank you.

Best Regards,
Hideki Takahashi
