Yes, I'm around. :-)
I am an ambassador from Japanese Wikipedia. And I have been active since the time ja. wikipedia became active. If you have any question about ja., please let me know.
It is true that I am virtually the only japanese wikipedian who posts on mailinglists.
I was asked by some japanese wikipedian if I would run for the board. I might... I am still thinking. But because I am virtually the only one on meta's English page, sourceforge's bug report section, mailing lists, and other places speaking on behalf of Japanese wikipedians, I hesitate a bit. I am also virtually the only person who relays news, announcements, call for comments/ votes, etc., from outside of ja. There are other things that I do, and not many others do, including responding to press inquiries, in-depth discussion of GFDL related issues, talking to Brion and Jimbo when their attention is needed, etc.
Well, enough of bragging.
I am interested in increasing ingerlingual sharing of wikipedia experiences. Earlier this year, I indeed shared an overview of legal discussions (past & present) on Japanese Wikipedia. (URL: http://meta.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tomos/Legal_discussions_on_Japanese_Wiki... )
Also, if you prefer communicating on Japanese Wikipedia in another language, we have a page for you: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Contact_us_for_non-japanese-speakers
Regards,
Tomos
