What's the reason of the low participation? Am I doing something wrong?

Hello.

I'm noticing there's just participation from a few people. I'm not
sure if it's because some technical problem or I'm thinking this in
the occidental way instead the Japanese way.

My intention was just to contact people interested in make a Japanese
Pandora community, not how to do it. I just want to collaborate and
find people interested on this.

I need the reply in all people that is really interested on this and
want to be a member of the next community , if you can't reply here
please send me an email.

It seems the wiki is the most interesting way for Japanese people.
What do all you think about this?

What about the site? And the forum?

Sorry for a "gaijin" trying to make a Japanese community, I can
disappear if needed and just collaborate on the needed technical tasks
for the site. I'm sorry really if I did something wrong.

Regards.

I would like that some people that knows more the Japanese culture and
language manages this, as it's becoming a very difficult task for me.

Any candidate?

Well, I think one of the reason is because it's now 5:30pm here at East coast
of North America, which means I just finish my job, and it's 7:30am in Japan,
which means most of Japanese just wake up.

Another though is that we are still not sure how Pandora will be like. Yeah,
we know the shape and the spec, but we don't know how the chassis and
the keyboard feel like and other thing like that. Japanese is one of the
species known as picky to those.

It might be possible that once we start getting the real Pandora, there will
be some amount of people posting tips on their blog and someone will start
gathering those information on their or on the official Wiki.
(And this is what happened in the past with other hardware as I understand.)

So, as I wrote before, I think the primary task right now is to make available
as much information as possible to Japanese people in Japanese.

I can see some people already start exciting, but we had a problem with
this size of PDA before. (It's MorphyOne.) People interest in this MorphyOne
spent about 1000 dollar each and got nothing. The peoject just disappeared.

So, I think most of people are just waiting for to see the real product.
