	Its still very helpful to those lucky enough to read Japanese :)
	I've added a link from the NetBSD newsmips page - thanks.

	The most important aspect is collecting the information - even in
	plain text form with each entry in the form of a question, and
	an answer. If you have more time and basic HTML knowledge then you
	can format them based on an existing FAQ, such as
		http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/arm32/faq.html

	Most of the FAQs on www.netbsd.org are in .list format - see
		http://www.netbsd.org/developers/htdocs.html#dotlist-files
	for more information on this.

	If you have any questions - just let us know!

	Good luck!

	By the way, I think your email client may be doing something
	strange - its sending HTML, plus plain text marked as 'base64' -
	this results in the plain text coming out as a page like:
 
	 \xe8\xb5\xef\x93\x85\xea\xdev\x87\xac\x9e\x8bly\xe9\xad\xa1\xb7\x9a

	 at this end :/
