I can see sever= al reasons why you think Japanese content has been increasing in the Web. F= irst, some students use Emacs in their university because their teacher als= o 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! Afte= r graduation, they will be programmers, engineers, and researchers with hig= h-level technical skills enough to distribute their knowledge through their= blog and twitter. Second, We have several workshops related to Emacs and o= rg-mode. At least, two workshops are held a few times a year at Kyoto and T= okyo. 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 primar= y 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.
