Hmmm... I took a quick peek at this, and it does look like it would
take some time to get rolling. Then again, merging netnews into it
later would be simple; I don't think netnews is very widely used in

into place and everything that enters Japan's net is translated into
Nihongo before any user sees it (HAH!!).....
