I can = see several reasons why you think Japanese content has been increasing = in the Web. First, some students use Emacs in their university because = their teacher also uses Emacs. Then, the students use Emacs to write = papers for graduation. I know a super student. He wrote his thesis using = Emacs with org-mode! After graduation, they will be programmers, = engineers, and researchers with high-level technical skills enough to = distribute their knowledge through their blog and twitter. Second, We = have several workshops related to Emacs and org-mode. At least, two = workshops are held a few times a year at Kyoto and Tokyo. The = participants of the workshops write blog entries and release some = emacs-lisp actively. An Emacs advent calendar is a good example. = Finally, we have many Japanese translated materials, manual, tutorial, = org-web, and twitter bot, to know org-mode quickly and easily. And of = course, the primary reason is that org-mode is very useful tool to do = anything with Emacs :-) Best regards, Takaaki Ishikawa > Jan 27, 2015 11:16 PM=E3=80=81Tory S.
