Thread: PostgreSQL book translation
Bruce, We (PostgreSQL users in Japan) have formed a non-profit, non-commercial PostgreSQL user's group, called JPUG (Japan PostgreSQL User's Group) this July. We have over 240 members now. You can visit our web page at http://www.jp.postgresql.org/ (all contents are written in Japanese). What we are thinking about is translating your PostgreSQL book into Japanese. We want not only the result be published from an appropriate publisher, but also the whole contents could be viewed by anyone on the Internet as well. I'm not sure this would conflict with the contract you have made with your publisher though. How do you think? --- Tatsuo Ishii
